From fence posts and refrigerator magnets to surf boards and garden shears, "I Was Impaled" tells incredible true tales of people from around the world who have accidentally ended up with foreign objects in their bodies. Each story is brought to life by first-person testimony and CGI reconstruction, starting from the discovery of the injury to the groundbreaking medical treatment. It describes in detail how the dangerous, bizarre object entered the body, how it affected organs and influenced behavior, and why the matter was often inches away from causing death.
