Anyone got the footage of this asshole capturing a once in a lifetime selfie?
www.dailymail.co.uk
An American man impaled himself on a metal fence at Rome's Colosseum while attempting to snap a selfie on Friday afternoon.
The 47-year-old was dangling from the fence and screaming until he fell unconscious after becoming badly wounded at the iconic Roman landmark.
The unidentified man, a US citizen currently residing in Taiwan, was seen climbing the perimeter railings that surround the Colosseum's towering arches, perhaps to gain a better view or as local press speculated to capture a dramatic photo.
But his quest for the perfect shot ended in the horrifying accident.
According to Il Messaggero, the man lost his footing while scaling the fence and was impaled through the spine by a sharpened metal spike.
Eyewitnesses rushed to call emergency services, and although paramedics arrived on scene quickly, it took them more than 20 grueling minutes to remove the man from the spike.
