Oregon Man Narrowly Escapes Being Gored By Runaway Saw Blade
HuffPost
"I need a beer. I'm still shaken," Shane Reimche said after the freak accident.
A man in Eugene, Oregon, is thanking his lucky stars after narrowly escaping being gored by a runaway saw blade on Thursday. (Watch the video below.)
Shane Reimche was entering a local market when a 4-foot saw blade running at a nearby construction site came loose and hurtled toward the store’s front door.
“I was walking into the store here, I put my hand on the door and I heard a loud bang and yelling,” Reimche told Eugene ABC affiliate KEZI TV. “Just as a cloud of smoke pops up and I see a guy fall in the ditch. And a 4-foot blade hurtling at me.”
The errant saw blade ended up lodged in the store wall just inches from where Reimche just stood.
The building felt the impact, store owner Amit Grewal said.
