Could it happen if a drunken person fell on an object causing great injury?

When I lived in London in 1974, the son of a family friend slipped while climbing over a fence and fell abdomen first on a rock. He tore the mesentery and almost died. If his father hadn't taken him to the doctor 'just to be safe' he would have died.

It is possible for someone to have caused similar injuries by accident. I'm not sure that happened in this case though. Virtually impossible to get a straight story out of the media these days.
