This dude got his penis stuck in a gym weight

What the ...

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

A man in Worms, Germany (that’s the town, not a bad pun) has joined the ranks of internet infamy after the local fire department revealed they rescued him after he got his penis stuck in a gym weight.

The post on the fire department’s Facebook page reads:

“Report: Curious training accident - assistance for the hospital.

A few of our firefighters had to be delicate when they received a different kind of message that arrived at the control center today, Friday, 9/15/17.

The fire department was called to the hospital in Worms. One person had a very sensitive body part stuck in the hole of a 2.5 kg dumbbell disc. With the aid of the cutting grinder, a vibrating saw and a hydraulic rescue device, the weight could be removed after three hours.

The fire brigade and a firefighter of the voluntary unit were on the scene to assist.

Please do not imitate such actions!”

Who is this scenario scarier for: The man with his penis stuck in a weight plate, or the firefighters who need to concentrate on a penis with a steely nerve while using huge equipment normally reserved to remove people from car accidents?

There are times we’re all fed up with working out. Times we want to laze around and do nothing. Just remember folks, don’t take things literally the next time you think “f*** the gym!”
