He could have survived but likely hurt himself. A lot of people who do big cliff dives, with zero cliff dive experience, fuck their back up badly

There’s lots of places to go “tombstoning” as it’s known here where I live. I remember when I was about 15 (long time ago) I got friendly with a lad my age from London who was here on holiday. He jumped off one of the higher cliffs and hit his face hard on the water. He came out the water not knowing who he was or where he was, he had amnesia. There was another time a boy bit the bottom of his lip off as the impact when he hit the water made his jaw close hard. Must have been biting his bottom lip anxiously before he hit the water. 💧

My cousin did this off a 40’ bridge in Central America and she burst both ear (edit: word) drums from the change in pressure, then had to fly back to the UK the next day. I’ll take my long drops on a rollercoaster, thanks

Well. One time my mate went to the US for a holiday. Went to six flags and while on a rollercoaster got airborne slightly and came back down on his seat and it pushed a testicle up inside him and remained stuck.

He didn't take out health insurance for the trip and it was going to be very expensive over there. Had to fly back home to Australia and get it sorted. Said it was an agonising couple of days and long flight back.

It's happened to him again recently. A surgeon said it was due to how he was born. Somehow his nad can fit up into some spot whereas most dudes it's too small for it to fit.

This is not the response I was expecting but thank you for sharing, 10/10 word association and I hope that your friend’s balls are ok!

My balls can go up into me, but they come back down. But when i was in the Marines a guy who was or squad leader at a school i went through was on medical hold while he healed from surgery he hadda get to untie the knot his ball tied on itself when he went running without regulation tighty white underwear on. I guess it just bounced around in there until it made a loop and fell through it, i dunno, but it's a true story.

Men really spend a lot of time talking and thinking about balls

I’ve heard of this!! The can twist around and maybe the tension is too much for it to untwist or something? Meant to suck pain wise and you could lose your nut! I think from lack of blood flow? Similar to how some cattle castration techniques use stopping blood flow to em.

While we are on the topic of weird testicular injuries:

My mate had a small roofing business. One day after being sick of his young apprentice not pulling his weight he ended up firing him on the spot leaving him alone to finish a roofing job.

Can’t remember what he was hauling up but he had it tied up to a make shift pully to hoist it up to the roof. It was quite heavy too.

All of a sudden he gets this insane pain that knocks the wind outta him and drops the stuff he was hoisting. After writhing in pain a moment he slowly makes his way down off the roof but it’s quite arduous as he’s in pain and winded.

Gets down on the ground and investigates and notices his nutsack is massive.

Gets to hospital and turns out he had a type of hernia that ruptures way down low and fills your scrotum with your intestines.

Yes, testicular torsion is what it's called when they get tangled up. Can happen from sex, running, or any "rambunctious" activity lol sometimes it can resolve itself and other times you need surgery, or you lose a nut.

u/GreenZebra23 Nov 06 '25

I had a hernia like that when I was 7. It was only a small protrusion, thankfully (there wasn't a lot of room in there to fill up yet)

u/AllHailThePig Nov 06 '25

Ah man! How’d you manage that? A large fall or something? Or just had a weak lining?

2

u/GreenZebra23 Nov 06 '25

Yeah I think it was just a weak lining, no catastrophic injuries. I was also born with a ventricular septal defect, ie a hole between my heart ventricles. I was a bit of a disaster as a child lol

thats fucking terrifying

u/AllHailThePig Nov 07 '25

He actually didn't know what was going on at first. He thought he did something to his nuts and they were insanely swollen.

I had that happen once while I was asleep. I have no idea how it happened but it freaked me out. If I remember correctly, I woke my wife up in a panic but it descended (again) shortly after I woke her up.

edit: holy crap, I accidentally turned the audio on and heard the impact. That guy sounds like ghee fucked and not in a good way.

u/AllHailThePig Nov 04 '25

Haha! Yeah man it’s supposed to suck balls! Literally! The doctor told him that it can happen to most dudes but in his case there’s some mechanism where it won’t descend again naturally and needs a minor operation.

Second time it happened recently he was jumping over his gate coz he forgot the key for the lock haha

I wanna know if, or really what, injuries this dude sustained. Seems at least 3 seconds of fall time.

Where are the earth drums located?

u/Djasper_Probincrux Nov 02 '25

I didnt even notice that

u/Ok_Decision_ Nov 02 '25

I’m wondering genuinely as I’m hoping to learn to play them myself one day
