31-year-old father of two became impaled on a child’s ride in eastern Sweden.
The man took his children, aged 2 and 4, to the Furuvik theme park near Gävle in eastern Sweden. The family had been riding the minicar. The older girl wanted help driving the vehicle. So dad jumped in saying “She can’t step on the gas pedal herself, so I lifted her up and jumped on the back of the truck so she would fit in front of me.”
However, the unfortunate mandid not see the the tow bar sticking out from the vehicle’s rear. He sat on it, causing the tow bar to protrude from his rear when it tore through his jeans and hooked his rectum. In explanation the man said: “It was terribly painful… It was a complete shock to the whole body.”
A worker dashed over and lifted dad clear. He was taken to the toilets to wash. The venue then gave him a pair of shorts to wear. The theme park also treated him to a free lunch. And that would have been the end of the matter were it not for the fact that the man’s blood has been poisoned. He has been taken to hospital.
Says Erika Rydstrand, the Furuvik marketing director: “Not even in your wildest dreams could you foresee an accident such as this. He must have sat down very hard seeing as his trousers were also ripped.”
