BOURNEMOUTH, England – A retired jockey died when she fell onto an eco-friendly metal drinking straw which impaled her eye, an inquest heard.

She was carrying a mason-jar style drinking glass with a screw-top lid in her kitchen when she collapsed. The 10-inch stainless steel straw entered her left eye socket and pierced her brain

Her death has led to a coroner warning that metal drinking straws should never be used with a lid that fixes them in place
Eyed have to agree with this

Warning labels on the metal straw would have prevented this.

Straws are trashy

An accident like this will probably stirrup trouble in the metal straw industry.

That single incident is more harm to the world than has been caused by every plastic drinking straw ever made.

Before she died, she made the comment about her commitment to using metal straws instead of earth poluting plastic ones. "I think we really need to wrap our heads around this and go full force."
Back to you bob.
Back to you bob.
