While on vacation last week in Oregon, Phil "The Unabomber" Laak was seriously injured in an ATV accident. The accident was reported, as most things are these days, on Twitter with his best friend Antonio 'The Magician" Esfandlari giving the following missive on August 5: “At hospital with poor @RealPhilLaak in Oregon. We went a little 2 crazy atv’ing in the doons. Broke 7bones. Ouch."
Laak has severe lacerations around his right eye, swelling, and some serious bruising. His right arm is currently immobilized in a temporary cast. Thankfully, the fractures sustained appeared to be internal and not compound, meaning that recovery should be much easier for the poker pro.
Whether it was the pain medication or his unusually upbeat look at life, Laak tweeted about the event in a startlingly positive way. "ATV accident, massive arm injury and lacerations to eye in Oregon. Life is good," he said on the social media service within minutes of Esfandlari's tweet about the incident and an hour after the incident, he simply reported "Stitches forthcoming. Could have been worse… I’m lucky to be in one piece."
All-Terrain Vehicles like the one Laak was riding on can be dangerous, according to ATVSafety.org. In 2008, there were an estimated 410 deaths and over 135,000 injuries related to ATVs and the site urges that everyone riding one be aware of how tip-overs and bouncing accidents.
