Trapped and Injured: How an American Tourist’s Daredevil Climb at the Colosseum Turned Into a Nightmarish Ordeal
So picture this: a 47-year-old American guy, living all the way over in Taiwan, decides he just has to snap the perfect pic of the Roman Colosseum. Sounds innocent enough, right? Well, turns out the guy thought the best way to do that was to hop a seriously spiked wrought-iron fence—yeah, the kind that looks like it’s straight outta a medieval torture chamber. And then, in what can only be described as a tragic slapstick moment, he slips and ends up impaled on those metal spikes for what must’ve felt like forever. Ouch, talk about a literal “stuck” moment on your European vacation! The crazy part? After emergency surgery that stitched him up with 80 stitches, thankfully, he’s expected to pull through fully. Now, here’s the kicker—a Colosseum spokesperson later denied the entire thing happened, calling it “fake news.” So — was it a freak accident or just an elaborate ghost story? Dive in, because this one’s got twists sharper than those spikes. <ahref="https://www.ilmessaggero.it/roma/centrostorico/turistainfilzatocancellocolosseoscavalcacosaesuccesso-8813470.html”>LEARN MORE
