Journal nizo's Journal: The search continues: stick in the eye poster child 7

One of my college friends told me that his cousin shot out his eye with a crossbow. He had desperately wanted a crossbow for Christmas, and his folks finally got it for him: but they warned him to be careful so he didn't lose an eye. Well, within minutes of getting the bow and taking it outside for the first time he shot a rock and the bolt ricocheted back into his eye. Its still sort of a stick, but more of an advanced stick. Like it studied harder than the other sticks, kept to the straight and narrow

but it falls under your 'Other' category of related stories.

Suffice to say, definitely one bizarre way to lose an eye (and more).

This is why [thebostonchannel.com], kiddies, we don't run with sharp, pointy objects in our hands.

However, it doesn't quite fit your definition as no eye was lost.

but when I was 3 or 4 I was playing with a stick, and my sister wanted to play with it so she grabbed it. I didn't let go because it was my stick, and in the fight that followed she stabbed me in the eye with the stick. Luckily she had crappy aim and it just stabbed in the eyelid instead. I still have the scar from that. So no eye loss, but it did make a big, bloody mess.
