OUCH!

"A crew from Hamble Lifeboat, an independent lifeboat station, was on scene within nine minutes and Solent Coastguard Helicopter was then scrambled to airlift the bleeding Mr Lovett, whose testicles were dangling five inches down his leg, to Southampton General Hospital."

No Lifeboatman's career is complete without a medevac for a beanbag injury.

(Early 2000's or so, cleat pulled loose on a boat being side towed, double braid nylon line snapped back and the cleat hit a guy right in the marble sack. Shouldn't have been standing in way of the line, but still really felt bad for the guy - especially when we got to the dock, and out of the ambulance came two young knockouts. Don't remember if they were blondes or brunettes - so let's go with a brunette and a redhead. Poor guy just looked utterly defeated at that point, even despite all the great (terrible and probably felonious) advice we gave him on getting over the embarrassment by trying to capitalize on the situation.)
 
He indicated he thought it made a vas deferens he wasn't hooked farther left or right, but I think that's a bit of a stretch.
 
Those are those new "cleaver" davits!

Never did like those things.

But notice his swim ladder is not even folded right, its not suppose to stick out.

I think all boats should have pop down cleats too on swim platforms. Mine does. I have seen many swim platform accidents in raftups.
 
Im sure the guy had a few too many before he dragged his jewelry box over those davits. I mean its not like he didn't know they were there. Maybe slide into the water BETWEEN them!
And then to put it in the paper posing like some bathing beauty! If I had done something that stupid I would have hid in the bilge,after getting my luggage repaired of course!
 
I'm sorry but that story reads like something right out of the onion.

He said: 'If it wasn't for the tubes holding my testicles, they would have gone into the sea and I would never have seen them again."

'Although there was quite a lot of skin missing, they put my balls back where they should go with the skin I had left."

I was doubled over I was laughing so hard.
 
I don't think I'd want my photo all over the web if I did this to myself.
 
At first I thought you were crazy, but now I see your nuts
