I thought it was just me. But according to a study published this month in the British Journal of Urology International by a University of California San Francisco urology resident named Herman Singh Bagga, an estimated 17,616 people wound up in U.S. emergency rooms between 2002 and 2012 because they caught their genitals, almost always penises, in zippers.


If you’re giggling right now, you’ve never done it.
And you’ve probably done it. Zipper injuries are the single most common cause of penile injury in adult men reporting to emergency rooms, Bagga explained in an interview, followed by bicycles. (In small boys, the most common cause of penile injury is a toilet seat slamming down when the child is urinating – “you’d be surprised how many little boys rest their penises on the rim,” Bagga said -- followed by zippers.)


OK, so it’s a little funny in a Three Stooges kind of way, but a careless zip of the pants can be serious. While permanent damage is rare, Bagga said, zipper entrapment has led to surgical intervention such as undesired circumcision. A more common consequence is infection.

Happened to two of my brothers, one was about 6 years old and the other was about 10 when it happened. Both stated that it was very painful. However no permanent damage was done.

4725 Only one thing worse for a male is, having a catheter placed there. Not bad...until it is removed, then
peeing one drop at a time...feels like razor blades.
Laugh if you want. But that is our equal to females having a baby...much like taking their Lower Lip, and pulling it Up, over their head.

Even worse is applying turpentine. Both my brothers had turpentine applied. The burn is about ten times worse with turpentine..:laugh2:

My mother was a big believer in using turpentine instead of alcohol. And after all those years she was proven right it was a better for speeding the healing of cuts with much less infections arising. Drawback was it burned like crazy. I've had it poured on countless scrapes and cuts myself as a child. It was better..
