I'd say he was lucky.
I've heard of people being crushed to death by periscopes.

Heh, never even consider being squashed by a periscope as a possible way of getting injured or killed. Now that you guys mention it, sure, I can see it happening. Just not in my world, as there are no sub parts anywhere around me. lol

It was at the manufacturers own site, so it was'nt on board. Do'nt know the exact details as it happened the day before. Much hushed voices and chattering from the workforce, ie "thank F**K it was'nt me ". Anyway the health and safety authorities will no doubt be investigating.
