John Wolfson, a 27-year-old bodyboarder from Manly, Australia, (pictured above) got barred from the lineup at Bawley Point, New South Wales on Monday, March 16, 2014 when a bottle nose dolphin speared him in the left side as Wolfson was paddling out, according to a story in the Daily Telegraph.
Wolfson made it to shore but had to wait almost an hour in severe pain to be evacuated due to the spot’s remote location and the fact a 4WD ambulance got bogged in the sand. . . Witness and surf photographer Jason Corroto said the force of the collision shredded his mate’s wet tie. . . “He looked like he was wearing a rag,” he said. “He could not move at all. He thought he had broken his ribs.” . . While his ribs turned out not to be broken, he was expected to remain at St George Hospital overnight.
Must have been an accident, right?
