Little People, Big Injury!

Jacob Roloff, the 9-year-old member of the Roloff family, who have their own reality show – Little People, Big World – on The Learning Channel, was seriously injured Saturday night in an accident involving a pumpkin launcher on the family farm. Jacob was whipped in the face when a catapult at the Roloff Farm was inadvertently triggered, the Associated Press reports. As of Monday morning, he was listed in serious condition at Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland, Oregon. Mike Detjen, 58, a family friend, was pinned briefly by the catapult's extremely heavy counterweight and was also in serious condition. In a message posted to the TLC message boards, Matt Roloff wrote that his son needed surgery but that both patients are expected to make a full recovery.

Get well soon Jake!
