Poolside Prolapse

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Well I don't know if there's any validity to this, but I was told this story by a friend who I know never lies so here goes. (And I searched the site for "prolapse" and found nothing so it should be new...)

Apparantly there was once a man who enjoyed a passtime known as "pearl diving", in which you pleasure yourself inside a swimming pool (Sorry ladies, only works for men), and once finished you go diving for your "pearls". Well while this particular man was having at it, he backed himself into the water drain for the pool. He found this to be even more enjoyable, so kept a-whackin away.

Unfortunately, the drains in pools have a great deal of suction, and after a while he had his innards well... outwards. He had a rectal prolapse in the pool.

Now I don't know if this is true, but apparently as the man crawled to the phone to call 9-1-1, his dog found his intestines hanging out of his colin and well... ate them. The man did not live.

So that's the story of the man who gave himself a rectal prolapse in the pool. Like I said, I have no idea of the validity of the story, but here's a piece of advice anyway: Find as many creative ways to enjoy yourself as you can, but stay away from pools and machinery in general, (as we can plainly see in many other confirmed Darwins anyway).

Interesting story, Mark, but it sounds rather fishy to me. I do know that the suction on pool drains can be strong enough to trap children, but I find it very hard to believe it would be strong enough to do what was described in this story. In doing a few Google searches I found some references to "pool prolapse" cases involving young children but not with grown adults. Without some sort of verification I'm inclined to think this is an urban legend. If you're able to dig up any specifics please submit them and we'll certianly reconsider this!

Definitely Keep: For Darwin's Eyes
Amazingly enough I found several cites where pool drains can pull intestines out of the body (see http://www.lifesaving.com/issues/articles/17pool_spa_entrapment.html). However, the bit about the dog brings it too close to other stories that are sheer fabrications. see http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/showthread.php?t=196507. So, I will vote to let Darwin decide on this one. Thanks for sending it Mark. If you have some definite references please send them along.

A man's dog (as opposed to hungry wild wolves and the like) will generally avoid eating his master (ie the hand that feeds him) and thus I feel that what might have been a believable story was somewhat ruined by the dog element. I'll have to toss this, but we DO thank you for submitting, Mark, and encourage you to submit again!

Definitely Toss: Other
I have to vote to toss this. While it is based on a true occurance <http://www.snopes.com/risque/penile/pool.htm>, it's too close to a story we got back in 2002 <http://DarwinAwards.com/slush/200211/pending20021120-132335.html> for me to go for it without a reference. Sorry, Mark, but thanks anyway.

I'm going with urban legend on this one. It's just too fantastic to swallow. Pun intended.
