Naked Sunbather Trapped On Rusty Spike

A “NATURIST” IN HAMPSHIRE, ENGLAND HAD TO BE RESCUED BY FIREFIGHTERS after he fell headfirst down a slope and landed upside down with a metal spike stuck in his groin.

Gavin Rigby, 34, was doing some naked sunbathing with a group of pals in a discreet location near Haslar Lake yesterday afternoon.  When he decided to go for a little stroll, he went a ways from the others and lost his footing on a slope.  Toppling head-first down the slope, he landed on an 8-inch metal spike that was protruding from the ground.

Gavin is quoted:

‘I wandered off briefly and the next thing I knew I was falling and I landed upside down on top of this rusty spike.

‘It went about three inches into my groin but I couldn’t free myself. I was just lying there upside down on this spike for about half an hour.

‘It was certainly painful. ‘

Yes, it probably was.  His friends heard his cries for help and went to his aid, but were unable to do anything.  They called the emergency number and the Hampshire Fire and Rescue Department answered the call along with an ambulance.

After cutting off the spike that was keeping Rigby earthbound, the firefighters turned him over to the ambulance crew who took him to the hospital.  He was released later in the day.

The Daily Mail has the full STORY.
