Mr Skumavc said he
was injured by the bullet-shaped, pink, sex toy - measuring about 12cm in
length - at a bucks party to farewell friend's Peter Rolih's bachelorhood.

The flying phallus
left Darwin architect Jure Skumavc, 31, nursing a split forehead.
Mr Skumavc was still
sporting a scar on his forehead at Mr Rolih's wedding nearly three weeks after
being dinged by the artificial dong.
The darting dildo
drama unfolded on December 28 in a rented two-bedroom unit in Brisbane.
He said a scantily
clad exotic dancer appeared after awhile and was soon performing her party
trick: shooting dildos at the guests.
Mr Skumavc said
those who had seen the infamous ping-pong ball scene in the Australian film The
Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert would know how the party trick
worked.
He said the pink
projectile was flying an impressive 7m across the room and looping about 2m
high.
"It wasn't a
strong shot (when it hit me in the head)," he said. "It probably just
landed on an awkward sort of angle."
"She was
shooting it through the room from one corner to the other," he said.
"Other people
got it in their chest and knees. I was the only one bleeding. It was my turn
and it landed straight on my forehead.
"She started
apologising straight away but I just said it was fine ... then I touched my
forehead and there was blood."
Mr Skumavc had
difficulties describing the tearaway toy in detail.
"I don't have a
massive experience with dildos," he said.
The scars left by
the offending object have since healed, but Mr Skumavc said the story was still
very much alive.
"People keep
asking how close my face was (to cause that sort of injury)," he said.
Why is this in the WA Insurance news
Follow up report from respective insurer in regard to Public Liability and/or products liability exposures
Public Liability is a general Indemnity cover that all business should have at all times
Product Liability related to your products which is generally speaking is subject matter you have created modified or enhanced "once it leaves your possession" (you being the Insured). The question is ....was the subject matter (dildo) intended for sale (and did it leave possession) which are elements of character to define a trigger under Products Liability.
or was it a stage prop as part of the gig.... which is under general liability
all jokes aside if affirms the complexities of legal liability issues and the need to have insurance. Liability is not simply about Negligence, wrongful error, act or omission, it goes much further to include breach of duty of care.. refer link: A to Z of Insurances
Insurance is like a Parachute
