An Iowa teenager is recovering after falling and impaling himself on a set of deer antlers. Todd Reynolds, 16, was climbing through a window in his grandmother’s home after locking himself out. He slipped and fell onto the antlers, which impaled him through his back and just missed his spine.
The antlers were resting upright on the floor when the boy fell on them. The grandmother had saved the antlers of a deer that she accidentally killed with her car years ago.
Emergency room doctors removed the antlers. The teen is home now and expected to recover fully.
