>> [AP, Mammoth Lakes] A San Anselmo man died yesterday when he hit a
>> lift tower at the Mammoth Mountain ski area while riding down the
>> slope on a foam pad, authorities said.
>>
>> Matthew David Hubal, 22, was pronounced dead at Centinela Mammoth
>> Hospital. The accident occurred about 3 a.m., the Mono County
>> Sheriff's Department said.
>>
>> Hubal and his friends apparently had hiked up a ski run called Stump
>> Alley and undid some yellow foam protectors from the lift towers,
said Lieutenant Mike Donnelly of the Mammoth Lakes Police Department.
The
>> pads are used to protect skiers who might hit the towers. The group
>> apparently used the pads to slide down the ski slope and Hubal
crashed
>> into a tower. It has since been investigated that the tower he hit
>> was the one with its pad removed.

>> Blasting Cap Explodes in Man's Mouth at Party
>>
>> A man at a party popped a blasting cap into his mouth and bit down,
>> triggering an explosion that blew off his lips, teeth and tongue,
>> state police said Wednesday.
>>
>> Jerry Stromyer, 24, of Kincaid, bit the blasting cap as a prank
during a party late Tuesday night, said Cpl. M.D. Payne.
>>
>> "Another man had it in an aquarium, hooked to a battery, and was
>> trying to explode it," Payne said. "It wouldn't go off and this guy
>> said, "I'll show you how to set it off."
>>
>> "He put it in his mouth and bit down. It blew all his teeth off, his
>> tongue and his lips," Payne said. Stromyer was listed in guarded
>> condition Wednesday with extensive facial injuries, according to a
>> spokesman at Charleston Area Medical Division. "I just can't imagine
>> anyone doing something like that," Payne said.

>> [UPI, Portland, OR] Doctors at Portland's University Hospital said
>> Wednesday an Oregon man shot through the skull by a hunting arrow is
>> lucky to be alive, and will be released soon from the hospital.
>>
>> Tony Roberts, 25, lost his right eye last weekend during an initiation
>> into a men's rafting club, Mountain Men Anonymous, in Grants Pass,
>> Ore. A friend tried to shoot a beer can off his head, but the arrow
>> entered Roberts' right eye. Doctors said had the arrow gone 1
>> millimeter to the left, a major blood vessel would have cut and
>> Roberts would have died instantly.
>>
>> Neurosurgeon Dr. Johnny Delashaw at the University Hospital in
>> Portland said the arrow went through 8 to 10 inches of brain, with
the
>> tip protruding at the rear of his skull, yet somehow managed to miss
>> all major blood vessels.
>>
>> Delashaw also said had Robert tried to pull the arrow out on his own
>> he surely would have killed himself.
>>
>> Roberts admitted afterwards he and his friends had been drinking that
>> afternoon. Said Roberts, "I feel so dumb about this."
>>
>> No charges have been filed but the Josephine County district
>> attorney's office said the initiation stunt is under investigation.
