Freak Basketball Accident in Australia

A boy in Perth was playing basketball on a board mounted on a brick wall and as he slam dunked the wall collapsed on him and severed both his hands and his right foot. All the headlines I've seen say something along the lines of "Boy loses three limbs in basketball accident." I found this rather misleading. When I think of limbs, I think of arms and legs. They reattached his hands and feet and he is expected to recover fully. Crazy stuff.

I heard Crowded House's old drummer hung himself in Melbourne a couple days ago in a park...was it near you?
