Dude In York Impales Himself For Papa Roach

091307fence.jpg

A man who already had a ticket to the show attempting to scale a fence to get into the York Fair managed to impale himself 12 feet in the air.

According to the date, this happened Thursday night, which is, uh, today, so I’m going to assume the funnier option and say it happened Tuesday at the ” Bad Boys of Rock” show, which included performances by Hinter, Papa Roach and Buckcherry (”I love the cocaine”) and oh my God I can’t believe all these bands are playing county fairs or even still playing at all.

The man’s friends had made it to the other side, and then it was his turn, Schenck said. But instead of jumping down on the other side, one of the fence spikes pierced his leg, pinning him 12 feet above the ground.

Fun fact: If that ever happens to you, don’t pull yourself off, because that will probably make it worse. Also, the guy apparently fell 12 feet with four feet of fence in his leg.

This was an intense rescue, as exemplified by the dramatic reporting:

Using two hydraulic cutters, rescue workers snapped the fence poles. Silence descended over nearly 20 workers as they braced for the final cut.

With a snap, the last pole was severed, and workers guided the man so that he landed on a backboard on the inside of the fence, Kottmyer said.

About 4 feet of the fence came with him, Kottmyer said.

No word on the man’s condition, but Papa Roach, who have apparently become a pop-punk band, reportedly rocked the house: “Papa Roach FUCKIN ROCKS!!! You guys totally stole the show!!!”

    That’s about as bad as the bull goring (although the photo is mercifully less explicit).

    BTW, at first when I read where it says “Buckcherry (”I love the cocaine”)” I thought it said “Buttcherry (”I love the rogaine”)”

    What a tool. Besides, why would anyone want to climb anything to see Papa Roach?

    Now THAT was creative! Hadn’t heard that one since 3rd grade, way to bring back the vintage insults. You must have been the smartest kid in your trailer park!

    As far as your little problem, I’d imagine it’s pretty tough to get some when your above the age of 12 and openly admit to being a Papa Roach fan.
