In December 1963, Rodney Fox was spearfishing off the southern coast of Australia when he was abruptly pulled under the water.
In a matter of moments, he suffered a punctured diaphragm, a lacerated lung, a pierced scapula, and an exposed abdomen, ribcage, spleen, and upper stomach. When he was finally rescued, his wetsuit had to be left on to keep his organs from falling out.
