hi friends,
do you know the meaning of "bashing a jagged hole" in this text?
“On level ground, Stan might be able to hold his own against such a man. He’s hefty—maybe a little too hefty, there are a few flab issues, though he’s working on them in the weights room at Positron—so he could land a few kicks and punches. But on that ladder he’d be defenseless. And he’d land in the hedge, spearing himself on it, bashing a jagged hole.”
thank you so much

Kapahi GPY,you mean the hedge is like a spear which digs into his body?"spearing himself on it" refers to the hedge piercing his body (I suppose it has sharp branches), while "bashing a jagged hole", as far as I can tell, refers to the damage his body does to the hedge, not the other way around. It would be quite odd to say that a hedge "bashed a jagged hole"
