The scene of the incident is the Hotel Playas de Torrevieja in Torrevieja, Spain. An elderly guest of the hotel aged between 60 and 70 (his name has not been released to spare him the embarrassment) was taking a shower. As you do, he sat down on a plastic stool in the bathroom, but when he went to get up he found the sudden temperature change had lodged one of his balls in a hole in the stool.
