Ok, "Man nearly killed when eel swims in bottom" reads like an editor being clever. You know, like the bottom of a lake or something. But no, it really did swim up his backside. I guess when there's more than a billion Chinese, weird stuff is going to happen more often to them just due to raw numbers.
I'm not sure how this could be an accident. I'm pretty sure that, in the event of anything getting near the balloon knot, it clenches up tighter than a Depression Era father and the family's money. With that in mind, I'm not sure how the eel would gain entrance.
