A builder stayed calm after plunging 50ft and being impaled through his back on an 8ft long iron ROD. Sittapong Puangsantia, 23, was working on the new sports stadium at a private school in Samut Prakan, Thailand, November 19 when he lost his footing.
The construction worker tumbled down the scaffolding before landing on an exposed rod used for the structure of the building, which pierced through his back and came out the other side.
Shocked colleagues supported their injured pal before rescue workers arrived to cut him free and carry him to safety. Incredibly, Sittapong remained calm throughout the ordeal and was laid on a stretcher before being taken to hospital.
