Accident-prone man suffers another injury

Perhaps the most accident-prone man in Britain is recovering in hospital following his latest personal injury.

The 54-year-old has most recently broken both of his legs following a work accident at a farm in County Durham.

In total, the grandfather-of-two has racked up more than 30 injuries, including 15 broken bones.

His previous accidents have included a fall from a raised JCB bucket, a trip over a potato causing the break of both ankles, broken fingers from hammer injuries and various cuts and bruises caused by cattle herding.

The latest injury to add to his collection occurred when a JCB lurched forward without warning while he was shovelling cattle feed. Despite both of his legs being twisted into impossible angles, the farm worker should be back on his feet within 6 months.

Considering that the man works in one of the most dangerous industries in the UK, it is perhaps not surprising that he has suffered so many personal injuries from work accidents.
