Source: Information Times

A PE teacher surnamed Chen in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province, was almost killed recently in a freak accident in which the handle of a badminton racket hit and became embedded two cms into his forehead.

The accident happened as Chen watched his students play badminton.

The racket, which had a coin inserted into its grip, flew out of a student's hand as he smashed the shuttlecock.

If it had penetrated just five more millimeters deeper, Chen would have died, the doctor said.
