Sure, I wasn't expressing disbelief. I see and hear far far stranger things on a daily basis. I'm just talking about the perils of elevating articles like these to the same status as "news stories". (Which was apparently not Fuzzy's meaning to begin with.)
Yeah, I definitely wasn't trying to elevate the article.

He got lucky! I did that once and got 39 stitches...
That's not a funny picture.
I can almost understand the motivation behind this stringing "method". The first time I had to restring a guitar with vintage split shafts, I was soooooo frustrated and couldn't figure it out. This was before the Internet was publicly available.
Split shafts are cool, and there’s no pointy bits ready to jab your finger lol
I don't understand getting jabbed. I cut my strings very close to the shaft, then never go near them again. I mean, yeah, I tune, but I would have to not be looking at the tuner when I reach for it, to get bit.
My nephew died from a similar situation. Tried going through a sliding glass patio door. Falling glass cut him real bad, drove himself to the Emergency room, he died being transferred to a Trauma center because that ER would not do anything for him!
