What a nasty accident...This happened in Adelaide today. Sorry there is no photo. Soory, I have to delete one word... I am sure you can work out what it is...
"A WORKER was injured this afternoon when his ...... became caught in machinery at a northern suburbs saw mill.
The man, 30, was working at the Parafield Gardens Saw Mill at about 1.50pm when his crotch and ..... became caught in the chain of a piece of machinery.
He was taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital. It is believed his injuries are not life threatening but he initially suffered uncontrollable bleeding.
A company spokesman said the man's injuries were not serious."He got caught in the log moving mechanism on one of the saws," he said."

Wow! That had to hurt. How on earth did he manage it?
I'm glad he's on the mend. I wonder if it will affect his ability to have kids?
Glad I don't have dangly bits to get in the way! LOL!
Have a nice day!

Wow I cant imagine the pain that poor man must have endured. Im female but I do have a brother and I remember how my brother screamed when we were little and he got caught in his zipper so to say this is much worse would be more than an understatement. Yikes!

The spokesman might not have thought the injuries serious, but I wonder if he asked the poor man I'm sure he would say differently. I bet that he is terrible sore at the moment. My friends brother was killed in a sawmill accident, he was working alone and his shirt got caught in the machinery and couldn't reach the turn off switch, the rest I leave up to you, but it was not a pretty way to die. So I suppose this man came off very lucky.

That sounds painful. Goodness when I read that my stomach took a dive. Here's hoping he will recover properly.

Oh wow, that would be horrible and embarrassing. I can't imagine how horrible and scary that must have been for him. He will be in pain for a very long time.

I am glad that was explained a little further. I had not heard of this, but at the initial look at the post, I had visions of drunken exhibitionism or something. They often caution not to wear loose fitting clothes when working around machinery. I feel sorry for him, he must hurt a lot, and be embarrassed as well.

Oh, I don't have that parts since I'm a woman. But it must be painful as hell. It was a sorry state for the man. I sure hope the company will at least partake in some of the medical expenses this man needed to pay.

Okay, this kind of story makes me cross my legs instinctively, even though I'm not male.
I'd like to say I feel for him, but on the one hand, I'm probably glad I can't. I cannot imagine what pain the poor guy must be suffering, and I hope that he hasn't lost all functionality of it.
The spokesman says that his injuries aren't serious, although I would have thought that getting any body part stuck in machinery would be serious. Hopefully he can recover from this relatively well.
