Teens Recover After Tug-Of-War Game Nearly Severs Hands

1 Released From Hospital
Lane Lyon, 7NEWS Reporter

UPDATED: 5:58 am MDT October 19, 2007

PARKER, Colo. -- One teenager has been released from the hospital and another remained in serious condition after their hands were severely injured during a game of tug-of-war at school.

Henry Bennett and classmate Mitch Helfer were participating in a team-building activity at Lutheran High School in Parker on Oct. 12 when the accident happened.

Bennett's doctor told 7NEWS that the 16-year-old wrapped the rope around the palm of his right hand for a better grip.

"At some point a bunch of the kids let go, creating an imbalance in the tugging, and it pulled his hand off. The medical term is avulsed," said Dr. Lewis Oster, Microsurgeon with Hand Surgery Associates in Denver.

Bennett underwent a 10-hour surgery to save his hand. He was released from the hospital Wednesday. Helfer, who suffered a very similar injury, remained in the hospital, according to Oster.

A representative for Denver Health told 7NEWS Helfer was listed in serious condition Thursday evening.

Oster performed the delicate surgery on Bennett's hand, first repairing bones with titanium plates. Then, muscles and microscopic veins and arteries were reattached.

While it could be several weeks before it's known how much movement Bennett will regain in his hand, Oster is optimistic.

"Based on the condition of the tissue, I'll think he'll have a good outcome and a fully functional hand," Oster said while adding that 40 percent of avulsion injuries are successfully repaired.

Henry's mother told 7NEWS her son remains upbeat.

"He says it's brought people together," Reggie Barrett said and shared a portion of poem her son recently wrote, "I may have been injured, but my eyes have been opened," Barrett read. "The future has a mind of its own."

Mitch Helfer's family has declined requests for interviews at the hospital.

Friends and classmates at Parker's Lutheran High School are planning an upcoming fundraiser to offset medical bills.

Signs posted around the private, Christian school read, "Their hands are in His hands."

You okay, little buddy? I hope it wasn't your wanking hand.

In defense of Cheebs, I've never seen a real barbershop here. All hair cut places are either super cuts type places or up scale places.

anyways all men know that you judge hair places on the looks of the women working there not on the quality of their work.

where the hell would one find one. It's not just that city. I grew up thinking barbershops were something from the 50's or whatever long dead and I've lived in a bunch of places. I no clue they existed till PD said he went to one in a topic here like a year ago

brawndolicious · « **Reply #36 on:** October 21, 2007, 09:38:54 AM »

what does it mean to grow up thinking barbershops don't exist? somebody told you that?

Gay Boy · « **Reply #37 on:** October 21, 2007, 10:25:03 AM »

I only saw them in movies that took place in like the 50's and stuff and I never saw one in real life so I thought they must have been something of past generations that disappeared like drive in restaurants where you eat in your car and waitresses are on roller skates and stuff.

I honestly don't know where you would find them. All the haircut places I've ever seen are in strip malls or regular malls or in downtown of towns and in all those cases they are chains or salons.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #38 on:** October 21, 2007, 11:09:09 AM »

but drive-in restaurants went away because of drive-thru's...

Gay Boy · « **Reply #39 on:** October 21, 2007, 12:39:07 PM »

I know. It was an example.

But no one has yet to answer me, where the fuck is one supposed to even FIND a barbershop in a town. They don't put those things in strip malls with all the other chains.

Himu · « **Reply #40 on:** October 21, 2007, 12:47:06 PM »

wtf I grew up in a suburb of Houston and we have multiple barber shops. Maybe it's because Houston's better than anything Shitsigan.

Ypsi is not ann arbor. Ypsi is shitsville. I used google to find barbers in ann arbor out of curiosity. Not in areas I would venture into.

Anyway if I can afford it why would I go to a cheapo place instead of a upscale place?

Unlike most here I CARE deeply about my looks and what I wear, thats life. I am superficial live with it.

Yeah I saw that--what's the difference between avulsed and amputated? I thought maybe avulsed implied accidental, but there are accidental amputations as well, and amputations aren't necessarily clean/straight cuts.

Ichirou · « **Reply #58 on:** October 23, 2007, 02:38:00 AM »

Avulsion is a form of amputation where the extremity is pulled off rather than cut off.

(thanks, Wikipedia!)

xnikki118x · « **Reply #59 on:** October 23, 2007, 02:46:02 AM »

Wow. I think I'd rather amputation! It's amazing that they think he's going to have a fully functional hand after all this. I definitely wouldn't have thought so.
