Flying shock absorber kills mechanic

A Romanian man lost his life after a shock absorber on a tractor he was servicing flew off the vehicle and shot him through the eye.

Mechanic Radu Bonescu was working on the tractor at his Brasov garage when the incident occurred, the Croatian Times reports.

The 12-inch long part pierced Bonescu’s skull through the right eye socket, leaving the 43-year-old’s brain and spine so severely damaged that doctors said there was very little chance for survival.

Medics arriving on the scene said Bonescu died from loss of blood before surgery could be performed to remove the part.

More than shocking, to say the least.
