Groin Attack/Real Life: Difference between revisions

** Another guy blew off his nuts with a BB gun.

** A drunken man once tried to have sex with a raccoon. Let's just say ''teeth'' were involved.

** A couple guys used a shotgun shell to keep their car running when one of their spark plugs failed. Naturally, it went off, hit the driver in one of his testicles, caused him to lose control of the vehicle and resulted in a fatal crash.

* Liverpool defender Phil Babb taking a goalpost to the nads is one of ''the'' most recycled clips on football blooper shows.

* In the band's "Behind the Music" episode, [[Metallica]] lead singer James Hetfield recalled in incident following the infamous pyrotechnic accident during one of their tours where James took the worst of hit, and had to have his arm in a cast during which time he couldn't play guitar. One of the tour's technical crew accidentally hit James' arm, and James got so angry that he "punched him right in the nuts."

* [[Tom Green]] essentially sees the time he had cancer as this (since it was in cancer in that particular area).

** The [[Eric Flint]] [[Alternate History]] novel ''[[Trail of Glory|The Rivers of War]]'' changed this as the point of departure from our universe, the arrow only nicking his outer thigh, after slipping on a dirt mound, leaving Ensign Houston available during the War of 1812 to rally the defenders of Washington, DC (much to the despair of Francis Scott Key).

* Territorial male seals attempt to bite each other in the groin when they fight, rendering their rivals incapable of competing for females.

* Rabbits also target their rivals tender portions when they fight. Territorial does do this when they don't want to make more little rabbits. To make matters worse, these fights usually end with said unfortunate bunny issuing the dreaded "rabbit scream."

* Some guy in San Francisco [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/07/man-cuts-off-penis_n_1578076.html?ref=san-francisco&icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl4%7Csec3_lnk2%26pLid%3D168085 removed his penis with an exacto knife] because...actually, it doesn't say why. He wasn't even drunk or high. We'll just leave it as [[Too Dumb to Live]].

* The Israeli martial art style of krav maga has a thing for groin shots. It's not like learners are intentionally told to attack the groin. The whole idea of krav maga is 'Screw the rules, use any and all weak points to defeat your opponent.' It just so happens that the groin happens to be a particularly weak point.

* Former Seattle Mariners third baseman Adrian Beltre took a line drive to the groin in August of 2009. He stayed in the game until it finished in the 14th inning, despite a torn testicle that eventually swelled to the size of a grapefruit. What song played when he first stepped up to the plate upon his return? "The Nutcracker Suite."

** Females are also more likely to suffer permanent damage from a groin attack, for a number of reasons.

*** Some of this damage involves (besides nerve damage) breaking the pubic bones. In the female, these bones are set at an obtuse angle (to facilitate childbirth), and they are more easily accessed. CRACK!!!

** Any girl or woman who has sat down too quickly on a bicycle, or tried to hop a fence and slipped, knows just how painful getting hit in the groin is.

** I've witnessed enough playground girl fights to have seen how common it is for a [[Groin Attack]] to floor a girl with the agony. This trope description implies it requires trained fighters or specialists to be able to damage a girl with a [[Groin Attack]]. Most of these examples show how wrong that is.

** Bonus points: there were no medical personnel around as he lay dying in his pool of blood. [[Worst Aid]] ''[[Fridge Logic|at its finest]]''.

* A news story on AOL about [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/12/catherine-kieu-becker-cut-off-husbands-penis_n_895771.html?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl1%7Csec1_lnk1%7C77488 a woman cutting off her husband's dick] [[Squick|and putting it down the garbage disposal]]...

* [http://www.ktla.com/news/landing/ktla-crotch-burning,0,2235307.story This woman] set her boyfriend's crotch on fire.
