guy Posted May 4, 2025 Report Share Posted May 4, 2025 (edited) A 47-year-old American tourist was impaled while attempting to scale a fence at the Colosseum, trying to either get a selfie or have a better view. It took 20 minutes to free the man, who was screaming until he lost consciousness. Fortunately, he survived but required 80 sutures. https://www.lbc.co.uk/world-news/us-tourist-impaled-himself-romes-colosseum-railings-20-minutes-horror-accident/ Edited May 5, 2025 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guidoLaMoto Posted May 6, 2025 Report Share Posted May 6, 2025 I bet that's gunna leave a mark. Dumb move. Pollice verso. -- got me thinking....American football players "spike the ball" after scoring a touchdown. Roman gladiators spiked each other.
