Branch through the cheek (GRAPHIC)

I've had to use pliers to pull yucca spears out of my body before, but that really takes the cake. That's nasty.

The guy crashed on what looked like a graded road. What's up with that?
I've had to pull those damn spears out too. Man did that suck. I stay far and wide from those damn spines now.:prof:

Those are flat out gruesome.

So do you pull it out or ride it out? I think I'd have to yank it out.
Don't think that there are that many blood vessels in your cheek so you might be fine pulling it out. However I'd elect to keep it in to help slow the bleeding and let the ER take care of it. Plus walking into the ER with a branch sticking out of your face is sure to get you to the front of the line. :smirk:
