Hi.
A colleague from work pointed a news story of a truly appalling accident a cyclist had the other day somewhere in Essex. I didn't believe her, and after a quick Google I found a few news articles about it. Apparently the guy was negotiating a bad pot hole, when he somehow got into some difficulty and ended up wedging his testicles into his back side. I can't imagine what sort pain he suffered but I can imagine it wasn't nice.

Why bother with fake testicular trauma when you can read about the real (self-inflicted) thing ... ?

:ohmy:

Yeah, pretty horrific. Part of the training that I deliver at work cover the distinct possibility of de-gloving the crown jewels should a fall occur whilst wearing an ill fitting body harness. Photos are included. xx(

Oh, ugh - even the description 'de-gloving' makes me feel queasy! :eek:

I'm not very adventurous so I am unlikely to do anything involving a body harness but if I ever DO then I will be very careful where the straps go!

Right, so a women went up to a male colleague who cyclies and regaled him with fictional stories about male genital mutilation in a cycle accident.

Reverse the genders in that scenario, and it's likely that HR would get involved*.

That is seriously creepy behaviour. You should let her know it is not welcome

Also flabbergasted that an adult male thinks his testes could be shoved up his arse in a cycle accident with no on-going trauma. Learn a little more about your body!

*I've never reported a colleague to HR, but have had to say to one "never say the word 'titties' to me again".

I know a chap who de gloved his finger in a DIY accident. In the end the medicos removed the whole thing, including the corresponding bones him his hand.

I've known a few people that had freak accidents but none as freaking as ball dislocation thing, but maybe worse injury wise. I knew a guy back in the Walkman days was riding with his connected to his side, had an accident and the Walkman badly bruised his kidney. Or the guy that had a pump in his jersey pocket had an accident and then required fusion surgery because the pump badly damaged a disk. I also knew of a guy that was wearing a cross around his neck had an accident and the cross penetrated his neck just missing the main artery by a mm, left an ugly scar on his neck.
