This is it, the worst groin shot ever

Anyone can be hit by a football or opposing player, it takes special circumstances to be hit with a dolphin.

Body-boarding on a remote Australian beach sounds idyllic, that is until you’re HIT IN THE GROIN BY A DOLPHIN.

A 27-year-old man had to be airlifted to hospital after sustaining the hit when a dolphin came through a wave and struck him in the pelvis, which is believed to have fractured the man’s hip. It also tore his wet suit, so yeah... the dolphins are now essentially becoming sharks.

Remember when we said he needed to be “airlifted”? That wasn’t because the injuries were too severe, it was because the ambulance got stuck in the sand.
