Teen recovers after tug of war accident

Out of all the worries we have, we never thought we would have to be paranoid about our son participating in a game of tug-of-war.

Henry Barrett and Mitch Helfer both had their right hands partially severed in the tug-of-war in October.

Barrett said he remembered hearing a “snap” and realizing almost immediately his right hand was bleeding and numb.

“It turned the muscles into hamburgers and severed 90 percent of the nerves. What wasn’t severed was severely traumatized. Three bones were snapped clean in half,” said Barrett.
