Basketball Player Slid on the Court, Got Impaled By Three Inch Splinter

A middle school basketball player got knocked over during a game in Wisconsin and ended up sliding across the on her stomach. The 14-year-old told a referee that she couldn't get up due to the three inch splinter in her gut.

Turns out that one of the boards on the court had split. There was no blood and the piece of wood luckily missed all her internal organs. Paramedics got her to American Family Children’s Hospital where they removed the splinter.
