The construction worker who survived a six-foot metal bar straight through his skull


















A 24-year-old Brazilian construction worker, Eduardo Leite, was having a seemingly normal day at his job until a six foot metal rod fell from the fifth-floor of the building he was working on. It pierced his hard hat and ultimately his skull.

Miraculously, the rod entered the back of his head and exited right between his eyes. Leite just missed losing his vision in one eye and narrowly escaped having the left side of his body paralyzed. He even claimed to feel no pain when asked in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.

Leite had the six-foot metal rod removed from his head during the operation and claimed of “few complaints” after the surgery.
