Guest mashkhan Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 A man has been killed at a US amusement park after his long hair became caught in the wheels of a roller coaster. Doug McKay was pulled as high as 40ft in the air by the Super Loop 2 in in Washington state before it dropped him onto a fence. Whidbey Island sheriff's spokeswoman Jan Smith said. "It basically scalped him, and he fell and landed on the fence." The 40-year-old, from Idaho, was the owner of the roller coaster, and had been spraying lubricant on the tracks at the time of the accident. The ride was in progress at the time, and his hair got caught in a car full of visitors, Smith said. Hundreds of people witnessed the accident, and grief counsellors were sent to the fairground to help the emergency services.

Guest capt_janeway Posted August 21, 2003 Report Posted August 21, 2003 A Brazilian man who went to the doctor suffering from ear trouble ended up undergoing more radical treatment than he expected - when he underwent a vasectomy. Valdemar Lopes de Moraes, 39, was suffering from muffled hearing, and thought his name had been called out in the waiting room at a clinic in the town of Montes Claros in south-eastern Minas Gerais state, Reuters news agency reported. He promptly went into a consulting room - where a doctor was performing vasectomies. The staff had really called out Aldemar, not Vlademar - but they say they gave the full name, Aldemar Aparecido Rodrigues, of the man who was scheduled for the snip. "The strangest thing is that he asked no questions when the doctor started preparations in the area which had so little to do with his ear," said clinic manager, Vanessa Guimaraes. Mr de Moraes, a local farmer, later told staff he thought his ear inflammation had reached as far as his testicles. The father of two, who had the vasectomy last week, turned up at the same clinic on Wednesday for the ear examination he failed to get the first time - but made no request for a reversal of the operation. Ms Guimaraes said: "A local newspaper said he is going to sue us, but he did not tell us about any claims."
