Off the Deep End: Man's Drunken Lake Dive Bursts His Bladder

The injury tore a hole in the 24-year-old's bladder wall, allowing urine to leak into his abdomen, according to a new report of the man's case. Hitting the water with a full bladder was "the equivalent of throwing a water balloon on the sidewalk," said Dr. Bradley Gill, a resident in urology at the Cleveland Clinic who was not involved in treating the patient. The young man's alcohol consumption likely contributed to the injury, Gill told Live Science.
