What farking loser parents would allow themselves to enroll their child into a division of the boyscouts who walk around with knives in their hands!?!

You'd have to "fling" a knife pretty hard for it to penetrate 1 1/2" into someones skull.

Obviously he will never make it into the elite paramilitary division of... the Eagle Scouts.

The young boyscout was quoted as saying "I would rather have a knife stuck in my head than a d!ck in my ass like some of the other scouts".

My psychic powers tell me the scout who threw the knife has previosuly attended marksmanship lessons. Coincidence? I think not.

Why did the doctor shave half his head if the knife was between his eyes. It also looks like he has stiches going across his forehead from ear to the other.

(1) Knife was tossed by a leader, not a scout (rtfa)
(2) Knife was tossed by a leader while trying to catch another scout who had tripped (rtfa again)
(3) Editor is fired: Jeff Jaeger spoke to Kevin Coulter and tells 2News how this was a truly freak accident.

Whoa buddy, pick a tense and stay there

Leatherman Micra if I'm not mistaken. Had mine for a few years. Still not sure how one could fling one such that it would lodge in another's brain.

Totin' Chip

There's also something called a "Fireman's Chit," which means you can build fires without killing people.

The good news is that the other scout, the one that tripped and was about to fall was saved.

An incredible and un-suspecting accident leaves a Utah Boy Scout just inches from death when he was stabbed right between his eyes.

An unsuspecting accident? Who writes this crap?

I'm reminded of a Kids in The Hall(?) skit, where one of the guys is going around, with a fork (?) in his eye, saying something like "I've got a FORK in my eye, a FORK in my eye, a FORK in my eye...."

Anyone help me out here?

Same here, silly how people make fun of Scouts. People must not realize how much they teach us about knives, guns, hiding in the woods, and the locations of major blood vessels.

It looks like they shaved the front half of his head, then made a 8 inch cut from ear, over the top, to ear. Probably peeled back the forehead skin, and then what??? Pulled the knife out? One good yank woulda done it.

At least the hair grew back over the scar, but did there need to be one?

They could have at least given him some anti-zit hormone therapy for ol' pizza-face.
