Despite the fact that the group of men had tickets for the concert, featuring Hinder, Buckcherry, and Papa Roach, they decided to hop a 12-foot, wrought iron [the really tough black stuff] fence to avoid paying the $5 entrance fee to the fairgrounds the show was being held on. Well, one dude ended up paying a bit more than $5, managed to impale his thigh on the fence, and is now forever "the dude who got impaled going to see Hinder."
And that has to suck. In terms of things to be known for -- this is probably a lifetime achievement for this guy -- being "the dude who got impaled going to see Hinder" is not what most people aim for.
The man, who underwent surgery and is recovering in the hospital, has had no charges filed against him. Despite causing firefighters to acquire hydraulic cutters to remove three spikes from the fence in order to free him. Despite using up an hour of their time, as simply removing him could have cost him his life if he severed an artery in his ridiculous accident (meaning the spike was potentially keeping his blood from flowing freely.) Despite him being a total moron.
So he lived, and had no charges filed. Amazing.
Nonetheless, if this guy isn't a Darwin Award winner in the making, I don't know who is.
Anyway, if you live in York, Pennsylvania or the surrounding areas and have a friend trying to pass off a thigh injury as something badass, like a shark attack or a knife fight? Point and laugh and call him on it, because you most likely know the dude who was impaled going to see Hinder.
All this, just to save $5.....
Note to all: those are not the sort of fences you should be messing with. Ever.
