My Dad knew a bloke I believe in Mungindi on the NSW/QLD border, who was driving a ute in a paddock and flung up a star peg through the floor of the ute which went up through his groin, it was not straight so it turned and twisted inside his body and exited out his back pinning him to the seat, no mobile phones then......the bloke stayed conscious and drove himself to help. They had to cut him out of the ute and of course not remove the picket until he was in surgery. Remarkably it missed his organs and he survived the ordeal. Apparently he kept the remaining star peg on his mantle piece as a trophy!
