Incident report

Two cavers were on a push/survey trip. On the way out Bob Nadich suddenly became aware of a severe chafing of his penis. He could find no solution or even apparent cause and bore the pain and bloody wounds all the way out. On taking off his wetsuit, once out of the cave, he found a hole with a few taut nylon threads doing the chafing. The threads were apparently from his worn-out underwear.

Summary

Bob Nadich experienced severe chafing and bloody wounds from taut nylon threads of worn-out underwear while exiting the cave.
