Student Gets Injured Urinating On PS2

May 15, 2007 in News comments 34

At the University of Wyoming a student was celebrating his purchase of the PS3 and decided to host a party. A party where they would celebrate the purchased PS3 and a party where they would destroy the PS2. Then one of the students friend's decided it was clever to urinate on the PS2, but the PS2 still had life within it and attacked back. How? By being plugged in. The student was then taken to hospital where he was fortunate enough to be released the next day with no serious injuries.

This story can be filed away as another incidence of Darwinism in action. A University of Wyoming student was injured after attending a party in which a friend was celebrating the purchase of a new gaming console.

Gary Wells had decided to invite a few friends over after he had bought a new PlayStation 3. Part of the festivities included the destruction of his old PlayStation 2 for which Wells held a drawing to see which one of his friends would put the old console out of its misery.

Later that evening, Wells held the drawing with friend and fellow student Mike Post being named the winner. Post, who was intoxicated by this time, immediately staggered over to the corner of the room where the PlayStation 2 was still plugged into a small television. Post then surprised everyone by urinating on the PS2--did I mention the console was still plugged in?

Amusement then turned to concern as Post fell unconscious and was rushed to Ivinson Memorial Hospital. Fortunately for him he was released the next day with no serious injuries.

Guess Mr. Post should have taken a Wii instead.

    That must have been some highly concentrated blast of urine. Didn't Mythbusters debunk the urban legend of electrocuting oneself by urinating on an electrified subway tracks, because the urine stream would break up too much by the time it hits the third rail?

    I still think he passed out because he too damn drunk.

      That's a crock! Well maybe with tracks but I have personally urinated NEAR an electric fence and got shocked. So this Darwin Award nominee is lucky he's not dead or lost his "you know what".

    Maybe he was damn close to the machine? The urine should be more compressed then?

    LOL hahahaha whats that saying, what you put out, comes back to you ten fold. Well this case he thought pissing on it was clever and funny, but the end result came back ten fold. But still what a loser. I dont care if your drunk, one he shouldnt have been drunk in the first place. Second pissing on it is like a pole outside a thunder storm. Your going to get hurt. But maybe thats sony saying destroy the ps2 and you get pwned lol.

        Exactly, he shouldn't have been drunk in the first place. I dont care if it was a party that doesnt give you the right to be drunk. Hell i go to parties and i never drink its called common sense. Im glade he got hurt maybe his experience will show him the errors of his ways. Go ps2 pwn that fool.

        Sort im 20 and the question is how drunk was he. He had to been very drunk to do this. And remember, thats only if you take a sip here and there, that party was like a beer convention and they got them selves piss ass drunk losing all ability and common sense. Maybe you dont know what this article was talking about other wise you wouldnt have said that.

    He should have tried this with the PS3. It uses about five times more electricity than the PS2.

    Why the heck would your pisstroy your PS2? The PS3, like the 360, won't be 100% compatible with every single PS2/XB game. Plus, it's a friggin' dvd player too. Which doesn't need any purchased 'upgrades' to play dvds. :\ Jebus just HAD to drop some sense into 'im.
