Chinese Man’s Iron Man Experiment Goes Wrong

Asia Economy

A Chinese man was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment after attempting to recreate a scene from the movie Iron Man.

According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP) on the 8th (local time), Zhang suffered an accident at a factory in Wuhan, China on June 23, where a metal fragment was embedded in his thigh due to an explosion.

At the time, the fragments pierced Zhang’s skin and embedded in his flesh, creating five holes of varying sizes. Despite the severe pain, Zhang did not go to the hospital. Instead, he decided to follow the character Tony Stark from the movie Iron Man.

In the movie Iron Man, Tony Stark, who had numerous fragments lodged in his chest after a terrorist attack, uses electromagnets to extract the metal fragments from his body. Inspired by this, Zhang tried to remove the metal fragments with a powerful magnet.

Zhang attempted to follow the scene from the movie, but the fragments were not removed. Instead, they caused him more pain, leading to emergency treatment at the hospital.

The medical team removed four metal fragments from Zhang’s body and repaired the damaged muscles, ligaments, and nerves.

The hospital warned, “The chances of successfully removing metal with a magnet are low,” adding, “It can cause more serious injuries.” They also stated, “When such accidents occur, it’s better to immediately visit the hospital for treatment rather than trying to solve them yourself.”
