While walking through the streets of Naples with his girlfriend, 28-year-old Darco Sangermano was injured in a very weird, fluke fashion. It was New Year’s Eve, and revelers were celebrating by firing guns into the air. Well, given that what goes up must come down, those celebration bullets became potentially lethal hail. Darco Sangermano was shot in the head by a falling bullet, but stunned doctors by sneezing out the bullet in the emergency room!
“This was a very strange case and the first of its kind I am aware of,” said Sid Berrone, the physician who treated Darco Sangermano before releasing him. “He was a very lucky man – he could have been easily killed.”
Of course, we know that people can get hit by stray bullets fired from miles away, as it has happened before. Still, the odds of getting shot in the head and being otherwise fine are pretty low, but what about the odds of being hit by a bullet fired from who knows how many miles away? Or a bullet shot into the air that just happens to come down and hit someone walking below it in the head? It’s miracles upon miracles, kinda like magnets.
