Cripes, those SyFy movies are dangerous

[wraithfodder]

It seems most Stargate actors are off doing wretched SyFy movies in out-of-the-way (aka cheap) locations, and now one of them was badly injured in the process.

Corin Nemec was in a boat crash in Belize, and broke his femur in three places (!)and lost a lot of blood. Luckily, he survived. Others, including the lead actor, were injured. No mention of names. Full details at http://7newsbelize.com/sstory.php?nid=24537.

Gads, think it's time to bring all these flicks back to filming in the States/Canada where there are stricter laws and regulations...

Hope Corin recovers; a break that bad could leave a permanent injury.

Yikes! He's damned lucky to be alive, given some of the large blood vessels that can be damaged in such a break; given the bleeding, it sounds like he knicked something pretty major.

Glad to hear that he got through it and the surgery. He's got some pretty hardcore PT to get through to complete his recovery.

Most major vessel is femoral artery and that's a BAD one to nick. Yeah, he's got a long road ahead of him with PT. Year, minimum, I'm sure.

Oh yeah. It's doubtful he'd be here if he'd done anything major to that one.

A kid at my high school - all those years ago - was hit by a car and broke his femur. Even after a year of PT, he had a slight limp that he did not have prior to the accident.

Yup!
