Wow! Just exactly how was he handling this saw and it sounds as if he wasn't wearing anything protective.
Yeah, I'll bet he's embarrassed about the incident. For the life of me, I cannot imagine what the heck he could have been doing. It kind of makes me wonder if he wasn't involved in more than mere carpentry.
Maybe he should have been wearing a metal cup at the time? I'm trying to think of what would be protective in regards to a saw.
A saw would be the absolute last thing I would want anywhere near that if I was a guy! I mean Lorena Bobbit put sharp objects first and foremost in the limelight! :)
You know what's funny? I thought of Lorena Bobbit right away. After they found her husband's penis and reattached it, didn't he go on to make a porn video just to prove it still worked? Unfortunately, from what I heard, it wasn't exactly straight. (I swear it was only hearsay.) :) But that's what I thought of in this case. I hope this new guy doesn't have that problem too.

I worked in a cabinet shop for 5 years. We used a lot of different types of saws. There are only two I can think of that might inflict this kind of damage - one would be a skill saw that kicked back or possibly a radial arm saw. It may well be a legitimate injury. And no, there are no special metal cups or extra protection that I've ever heard of for wearing in this line of work.
It only takes a split second for an accident to happen and/or for a finger or limb to get mangled or chopped, or split down the middle. I was 10ft away from my husband when a board kicked back in the table saw and his fingers hit the blade...in less than 100th of a second, his finger and bone were turned to hamburger meat. I hope this poor man is okay, just reading what little details there are about the story makes me shudder.
The porn was called Frankenpenis!
In the almost 30 years I have invested in working wood I have seen up close and personal all manner of freak accidents. I've had a few come flingin in my direction as well. The Wonderful World of Industrial Accident hovers quite near at all times. This is a first. I cannot imagine how one would accomplish such a feat.
Perhaps a Worm Drive or Side Winder with the guard wedged up? Seems like a kickback there would eviscerate one as well. Who knows.
I hope this feller recuperates fully, surmounts the humiliation and finds something with less sharp things whirlin in which to make a living. I hope to tell you, I'm a lookin....

I do wonder why he was found in the tub and his mama did all the talking?
Clipped to WTF?
All I can say is OWWWWWWWWW.
Why did this guy have a saw near his junk?!?!?!
That is a very good question now isn't it?
It makes my head (both) hurt just thinking about it... of all the things to have near the boys... I gotta say... a circular or perhaps reciprocating saw wouldn't be my first choice

No jive Clive. As a matter of policy I keep a close watch on where my fingers and Johnson are when screamin blades are runnin. I still cannot figure just how this feller accomplished this removal of bodily parts. At least that one......Kids do the darndest thangs though and working wood is inherently a not too safe manner in which to keep beans and rice on the table.....

O'h...HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was he naked or what? His mother said these things happen all the time? Perhaps in the US they just do their woodworking with their pants on. Maybe its one of those peculiar English things things they do???
From the way the story read sounds like he was working from home.
Two possible case scenarios come to mind:
1: One he was a nudist and enjoyed working in the buff.
2: He had a perverted sexual fantasy and carried it out then regretted the self done procedure.
There were no comments about any other areas of his body cut by the saw. I also agree with cooking mama about him being in the tub and his mother doing all the talking.
I wonder where mr m got his information? Was he watching the news or was it in the paper ?
Yeah, I'm not buying this story at all, the police spokesperson told the press that he had a knife, not a saw. Story changed the next day after it was splashed on the news that he'd emasculated himself with a knife.
