WORMS, Germany — Firefighters in Germany warned against the dangers of sticking sensitive body parts in gym weights after they spent three hours removing a man’s penis from one.
FOX LA reported that firefighters were called to the hospital to help a man whose penis was stuck in the hole of a 5.5 pound weight at a gym. They broke the weight into five parts with a grinder, a vibrating saw and a hydraulic device over a three-hour span in order to set the man free.
The fire department posted a photo of the demolished gym weight on Facebook, calling it a “curious training accident.”
They used the photo to not only highlight how delicate their firefighters can be, but it also came with a warning: “Please do not imitate such actions!”
