A Thai man had a lucky escape when he fell 32 foot from his balcony onto a metal spike after he slipped trying to hang up his towel after a shower.

Patirat Punudom, 35, finished showering at 2am on Friday and climbed onto the second floor balcony ledge to hang his towel on a washing line.


The metal tip narrowly missed his penis and went seven-inches deep into his abdomen meaning the spike could be seen pressing against his skin from the inside.

Neighbours in Pathum Thani, cenral Thailand, heard Mr Patirat calling for help and called rescue workers who cut the railings away to free him.

They said the spike narrowly avoided rupturing vital organs and causing almost certain death.
