Teenager Has Testicle Amputated After 'Tapping' Game

[superbatranger]

Whoever came up with this game is damn idiot. Since when is getting punched in the balls fun?

 

[Bigsmith]

Score one for natural selection, I guess.

Moral: Don't fuck with your balls. It doesn't end well.

SORRY WHAT! oh yer, you don't fuck with your balls.. you use ur...

Ot: this is realy realy stupid, him for partacing and the others for doing it... god what happened to them just shooting each other.

Whats with all the sack tapping and groin attack threads today?

 

[Stormz]

Another reason kids of today need to be beat by their parents. If someone tried this on me, I will probably murder them.

 

[CosmicCommander]

I tell ya, they used to do that all the time in my school. Just punch each other in the balls, day after day. I can barely feel anything down there any more because I was punched so much. Hell, I might be infertile.

This is true.

Up here they call it 'bell-flicking'.

It fucking hurts.

 

[Eggsnham]

And this is why people are stupid.

David Gibbons, 14, was changing classes in his Crosby, Minn. high school when he was attacked by another student playing a game called "sack tapping."

David's mother, Christy Gibbons, said it wasn't until hours later that they realized something was wrong.

"One o'clock in the morning he woke me up and told me he was in excruciating pain," she said.

David was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in Brainerd, Minn. where surgeons removed his right testicle.

And David is not the only student who has suffered the consequences of the "sack tapping" game.

"It's just gotten way out of control," said Dr. Scott Wheeler, a urologist in Brainerd, Minn. who says he performs three to four surgeries a year on boys with ruptured testicles and other complications as a result of "sack tapping."

"All parents, you need to have this talk with your kids not to do it. It's lost its humor. It's not a game anymore. People get hurt," he added.

So, escapists, thoughts? Personally, I'm wondering if Minnesota is really so boring that the only thing boy's can think to do is nail each other in the daddy bags.

this would have never happened if the kids had something wholesome like, video-games or death race as a hobby.

The worst i did at school was a game where you whack people really really hard on the back of the head.

I think others might have played this game though because a month or so before i finished High School about 6 boys had time off school for testicular tortion.

Oh oh, pun time:

Spoiler: Well i guess that kid..

..isn't half as nuts as he was before

YEEAAAAAH!

Sorry but if you are going to do a CSI: Miami style meme like that you have to go all the way with it good sir.

 

[LitleWaffle]

At least it wasn't lefty...

But seriously, this game is pretty weird. How to people think this is a good idea? It seems like a very pathetic excuse to feel someone up... (0_0)

 

[DustyDrB]

We used to do that back in high school. We put soap in a sock and...wow this sounds pathetic, I'm just gonna stop now.

Is everyone really so surprised at this? This is common every-day male stuff all across the US, if not the world. As males, most of us have the urge to do really stupid stuff to each other, and some small percentage almost always gets permanent damage because of it. There are a million games like this where you either randomly hit someone in a specific body part or take turns hitting each other until one person gives up. I played a lot of them when I was younger. I refused to play anytime it involved the genitals, though.

I just don't get why there's so much hate going on in this thread. Is everyone still that mad at the whole frat-boy mentality? I thought we'd grown out of that by now.

A counter to this assault would be sack "tapeing". A method used by most African Tribes for nut protection.

 

[General Ken8]

I've never heard of "sack tapping"

What the hell does that mean?

Basically, its a game people play in middle school and high school usually when people hit each other in the testicles really hard for no reason.

I've been a part of it before, and it's not fun. I even once had a pair of work boots thrown at my testicles before due to this "game", and it was horrible.

Be glad you didn't know what it was before

 

[Firepowered]

Oh man, these kids today.

 

[bad rider]

They did that at my school.

Its funny, because they were the stereotypical homophobes, and I would ask "why do you have so much fun touching another guys balls?"

Surprisingly "sack tapping" plummeted in terms of popularity after I confronted a bunch of guys on it.

My school wasn't homophobic, there was no stoping it. Also when you walked round a corner to see someone on the floor cringing and another guy laughing at it, you would have to pay someone to at the least not smirk at it.

 

[Red Right Hand]

That actually happened to someone in my school as well. Luckily he was a complete douchebag, so he had it coming anyway.

 

[bad rider]

The article quite clearly states he was attacked. The other kid was playing the game. Some fuckwit who thinks it's funny to just walk up to someone and punch them in the balls. Could happen to any one of you who's still at school.

"David Gibbons, 14, was changing classes in his Crosby, Minn. high school when he was attacked by another student playing a game called ?sack tapping.?"


The other kids who attacked him should be charged with GBH or something similar and sued for all they are worth.

The only way not to play is not to be on the field.

I'd want to say that I think this sort of thnig didn't happen at my school, but if it did its not something I would really know about anyway. It sounds painful though, and just the kind of dumb game that only a moronic teen who has no grasp on how their actions affect others could come up with.

 

[Duskwaith]

I tell ya, they used to do that all the time in my school. Just punch each other in the balls, day after day. I can barely feel anything down there any more because I was punched so much. Hell, I might be infertile.

So yeah, stupid, stupid stupid. Make the little morons stop.

I always thought it was a common thing to do. In my school aswell youd get a good wack to the bollocks if you were exposed.

Well one could argue that its just bad luck as how many people get smacked in the balls compared to those who have complications from it? Its like haveing an injry from the result of headlock your good old dad could have done to you for a laugh
