Angling hurts kids. Great x-ray though. One for the family album.

Weight flies inside angler's eye

A freak accident saw an angler's lead weight fly through his eye socket and become embedded inside his cheek.

Darren Williams, 34, of Wrexham, had a five-hour operation to repair his shattered cheekbone with a metal plate. The machine operator was on a fishing trip on Anglesey when his line became snagged and the weight flew up. "I was so lucky - if it had been a few millimetres in the other direction then I would have lost my eye," he said.

He is keeping the weight as a souvenir after doctors gave it back to him.
