Happened to me once prior to a family vaction.
Was riding my Go-cart while my parents were loading up the camper. This Go-Cart was a typical hardware store special and had no head protection, typical of the Late 70s. The entrance to the trail my brother and I had cut through the woods had a "gate" made up of only 2 strands of barbed wire. It is usually not closed. I didnt know my Dad had strug it back up. As I rounded the curve I saw the wire and locked em up.
I slid thru the wire.. it did not break nor come unhooked.
It jerked me off the go cart and I fell underneath the still strung up wire. It cut my face, arms and the barbed wire hooked the top of my braces and almost pulled them completely out of my mouth. Had the wire been lower . . . well I still dont like to think about it.
