Grosssssss, uggg-lee. So here's the letter that came with this picture,
read it first. Don't hold it against me. Read First before viewing attachment:
This rather shocking photo was snapped in November 16th by a spectator
at the collegiate power lifting championships at Pennsylvania State.
The unfortunate competitor, who expressed a plea to remain anonymous,
remembered to surgeons that he was "stuck" at the bottom of a personal
best attempt in the squat lift when he "sort of pulled his stomach in
and pushed extra hard, at the same time as trying to complete the
lift."
He remembers a loud popping, splattering noise then a fierce stabbing
pain and then not being able to move from the squat position. He
remained in this position for about half an hour, since trying to stand
caused him overwhelming agonizing pain. Para-medics arrived and applied
anesthesia on the spot and carried him to an ambulance. He was rushed
to surgery, where surgeons described the trauma as an "explosive and
aggravated prolapsed of the bowel". Meanwhile it was revealed that the
weight was removed from his shoulders at the time of the incident by two
"spotters" on either side of the lifter. The third spotter who was
standing behind the lifter was unfortunately sprayed with fecal matter
at the time of the incident. This spotter promptly fainted when he
realized the extent of the injury to the lifter, who was a personal
friend. This compounded the task of first aid officers who were at a
loss as to how to treat the injury to the lifter in any case, who
remained in the squatting position moaning in pain much to the
consternation
