Man breaks leg while kicking spider

January 12, 2006 - 2:24PM

A 19-year-old broke his leg in two places while kicking at a spider in the NSW Southern Highlands.

NRMA CareFlight said the teenager was flown to Liverpool Hospital in a stable condition from a property 25km west of Mittagong after the incident involving a large huntsman spider before 1pm (AEDT) on Thursday.

The force of the man's kick at the spider broke his right leg in two places and also killed the spider.

The Huntsman is listed by the Australian Museum as being a relatively harmless species, although the Badge Huntsman can cause pain, headache, vomiting and an irregular pulse.

Looolz that deosn happen everyday

LOl now that's cool lol that Spider Pwns

RIP Spider

Gawd, Australians are in the news for silly things lately :eek:

lol what an idiot how is that possible thought poor guy

long live the spider that broke a mans leg :)

Braking your leg whilst kicking a spider huh? you don't hear things like that every day.

If this guy managed to break his leg in two different places while trying to kick a spider,I think it would be a good idea for him to stay away from all contact sports as he will probably end up with a broken neck.
just how big is the Huntsman spider that he was trying to kick it rather than just squash it.

:laugh: yeah an aussie done it wouldn ya kno :p lol

but s so funny braking your leg kicking a spider

that things hella big! i wouldnt have even gotten close to it!

How hard is it to kill a spider? I agree with OMEN, he should squash it, not kick it. Someone should suggest getting a bug spray next time, to this guy. Wonder if he sees another spider in the hospital... lol...
