A picture of an unfortunate man who got his penis stuck in a weight has leaked online.

The incident was initially reported in September but at that point we could only imagine the horror of the man’s situation.

Now a shocking image has emerged showing the hapless fitness fanatic with his bruised penis trapped in the 2.5 kilogramme (5 pound eight ounce) weight.


The unnamed man was eventually freed from his nightmare after a fire team used a grinder and vibrating saw to remove the weight in Worms, Rhineland-Palatinate, Western Germany.

Another picture showed the shattered weight following the procedure.

But it’s the new image that’s causing the controversy, with hospital officials now investigating how it leaked on to social media.

Some people have claimed it was released after a ‘data leak’.

It’s still not clear how the man got his penis stuck in the weight but it’s certain without the skill of the emergency crews he would have been damned.

A spokesman for the fire brigade said: ‘How delicate some of our firefighters can be was shown when we called in support of the hospital.

‘One person had a very sensitive body part wedged in the hole of a 2.5 kg dumbbell disc.

‘The dumbbell weight could be removed after three hours with the help of a grinder, a vibration saw and a hydraulic rescue device.’
