Hair clip injures woman in traffic accident in Chengdu, China

A 61-year-old woman in Chengdu, China, was injured when a hair claw clip pierced her head after being hit by a car on February 3. The clip's teeth penetrated her scalp but did not reach her skull. She was conscious when admitted to the hospital, where doctors removed the clip within 10 minutes. The clip had broken, with three teeth lodged in her head. Medical experts warn that hair clips can be dangerous, especially if they penetrate the skull near the brain stem, which controls vital functions. They advise caution when wearing them during activities.
