A teen in India miraculously survived after a javelin was thrown through his neck during a freak track and field accident, as seen in a video of his impromptu piercing.

The freak accident occurred on December 17 while Sadanand Meher, 14, was playing sports at the Agalpur High School in Odisha, India, Jam Press reported.

Disaster struck after a student threw the sporting spear that ended up piercing the boy’s neck, going in one end and out the other.

How do you have a Javelin accident?

Since the boy is okay, are we allowed to make puns?

I find that people who make jokes about near tragedy are a real pain in the neck.

Always leave it to @Doctor-Phibes to say something in a jocular vein.
