Workers are always told to follow safety instructions when they are around heavy duty equipment so that they do not get injured while working. While there are many accidents that take place, a Swansea worker was involved in a bizarre incident where he misfired a nail into his crotch leading to a painful accident.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, a 22-year-old was working at a construction site in Swansea just like any other day before he actually fired a one-and-half-inch nail into his crotch. Luckily, it did miss his penis but left him with a painful injury. The worker was using a hand nail gun when he accidentally fired it towards his crotch. The man did not want to be named, however the owner of the building firm, Mathew Meagher, 30, said the construction work ‘wasn’t fazed’ as he stood with the heavy duty nail stuck in his crotch.

The youth was immediately taken to the hospital to be treated for the injury. The construction worker is now safe and in good health without much damage to his penis.
