Hideous Diving Board Accident in a Pool

This post is just sad! It takes place at the US Diving Championships competition in Indianapolis. Fifteen year old Greg Ferucci does a triple or quadruple flip on a diving board and hits his head on the board very hard.

He goes into the water, and is knocked unconscious. His coach quickly dives into the water fully clothed to rescue him. As his coach pulls him to the edge of the pool, we can see that Greg is suffering convulsions from the way his body is shaking. EMT's quickly rush to the scene to help him.

All around a terrible injury for a very young man. Sad video. Let's all hope that he didn't permanently injure himself and that he has made a good recovery. Reports on the accident say he suffered a skull fracture and a concussion and afterwards was said to be recovering. The incident may have taken place in Spring 2006.
