When one walks around in the nude, one must be very very careful....

Isn't it always the way? You get up to stretch your legs after a long day of drinking and sunbathing in the nude...you lose your footing and end up with a puncture wound through the groin from an eight-inch metal rod without so much of a "hello, how do you do?"

Well that's what happened to 34-year-old Gavin Rigby. While sunbathing with some friends near a lake in Gosport, Hants, he got up to use the washroom, when he slipped and fell head first down a slope and landed on the rusty spike, which was sticking out of the ground:

"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."

When Rigby was freed, he was taken to hospital in a nearby town. He's since been discharged.So I guess he's doing okay, but he might think about a pair shorts for next time...

Apparently, arriving at the scene in addition to police, and an ambulance were three firecrews including one with special cutting equipment to 'free' the man. Awwwkwaaard!
