Johnny Knoxville describes incident that nearly castrated him

Johnny Knoxville showed his catheter on the Jimmy Kimmel show and described the stunt that nearly cost him his balls. He was filming a tribute to Evil Knevil and was trying to backflip a motorcycle. Even though he was warned ahead of time not to let go of the bike, he did and the thing came down hard between his legs, the handlebar even breaking off into his crotch. He said he felt like he was peeing after the accident, but it was blood instead. Luckily there was a waiting ambulance there.

Given some of the stunts these guys pull I’m surprised that nothing worse has happened to them. I can’t really tolerate this show, but I happened to watch some of the Jackass movie on TV and Steve O was hanging on a rope over a crocodile pit with some raw meat stuffed into his underwear. The guy was laughing maniacally and he didn’t seem like he was all there. Johnny Knoxville, on the other hand, is oddly attractive to me. He told Kimmel that he got shit from his girlfriend after this stunt, and that he’s “much more scared of her than I am that motorcycle or the ramp.”

Thanks to Seriously? OMG! WTF? for the photo, and video below. I hope that’s just a bunch of gauze that Knoxville is holding in that picture, but somehow I doubt it.
