Disabled AC/DC fan impaled in mosh pit.

From News.com.au:
A quadriplegic man was seriously hurt at an AC/DC concert after his friend accidentally hit the joystick of his motorised wheelchair and catapulted him into the mosh pit.

Witnesses said a metal pin used by the 31-year-old man to manoeuvre objects became a spear and imbedded in his eye as his chair crashed more than a metre to the Brisbane centre's floor.

Queensland Sport and Athletic Centre, where the concert was held, faces criticism for not placing a proper barrier in front of the special wheelchair podium.

[...] The man was last night in a serious, but stable condition.
