Ski Jumper... Not.

2005 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

I was out skiing and doing a little Ski Jumping when a fully grown adult man decided that he was going to try grinding. Grinding, as snowboarders or skateboarders know, is the process of going down a rail with a board supporting you.

As this guy found out, there's a reason that there's a board involved. Skis don't have anything between thems, and he started to go on that rail- and proptly landed on his crotch.

As if that wasn't enough, landing on his crotch with an entire crowd laughing at him, The idiot decided that he would go farther along the rail to get off of it. He wound up hanging by his crotch for about 5 minutes from the end of the rail before falling and becoming the laughingstock of a growing number of people.

Hopefully he won't be trying that again anytime soon!

I assume he wasn't hurt since he got back up? What specificaly were you nominating him for?

Not being either a scateboarder nor a snowboarder, I don't have the slightest idea of what a "rail" is nor why this should be considered humorous enough for a Personal Account.

i can certainly see the guy in the process of doing this! It's quite a funny PA

Sounds painful enough but I agree with Jack. I neither skateboard nor ski, and I'm having a difficult time visualizing this. I also get the impression that while this stunt may have been embarassing and a bit painful, it was not life-threatening. Perhaps a re-write is in order...

It has merit - I can see why it was submitted. The guy had a good go at damaging his genetalia beyond use! As a personal account it's amusing enough. From what I've seen of "sk8" videos, the testicles are rather tougher than one might think and these people rarely remove themselves from the gene pool ... more's the pity.
