My legs still worked, so I walked next door to the nurses office, and when she started to examine me, I shocked the crap out of her. I was sore for days, but mostly ok.

Literally or figuratively?

Maybe Brass Eagle is on to something? Wish the mate the best of health.

similar scenario happened to me. i also grew 2 and a half inches that summer, doctors chocked it up to the lightning strike.

hope the guy has a speedy recovery. and i also would be interested to find out how the gun fared. be interesting to see if it was scorched, the electronics (if applicable) were fried or what have you.

Yall can crack all the jokes you want. That poor man is laying up in a hospital bed in denver in bad shape. He is active duty army and has this happen on his day off. I have heard a couple of things about what condition he's in and it's not good.
We will have a donation box at the C.O.D. game to see if we can help a local baller out.

Hi guys.
This baller’s on my team. He’s a good kid and a good friend. As Hooligan said, he’s still in critical condition though he is getting better slowly. We’re hoping for the best and he's a heck of a fighter. Your well wishes, I’m sure, are appreciated and will be forwarded to his family.
Regarding joking, people that aren’t personally vested in the situation can’t be expected to take EVERYTHING seriously and being struck by lightning is extremely rare so joking is to be expected.
To try to answer some questions, He usually uses an SP-1 and I believe he has it with him CO. I’m not sure of the type of barrel he uses though or the gun’s current condition.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear this. I've been off the internet the past weekend and busy. Just catching up now.

I hope he gets better and fast! Please keep us updated and let him know we wish him all the best!

Think he was talking bad about pumps? In all seriousness I hope he make s a full recovery. Someone Be sure to thank him for serving.

Beccolter · 07-12-2010, 11:26 AM

I'm curious as to how he was hit in the first place. Was it just out of the blue? Around here, the second we hear thunder we have to stop playing.
