A man who spent 30 minutes impaled on iron railings after attempting to scale an 8ft fence has told of his agonising ordeal - and how he suffered a similar mishap as a child. DJ and auto factory worker Richard Bamber, 37, was left dangling by the thigh after he misjudged an attempted leap over the fence and was speared by the spiked railings. Richard, from Birmingham, spent the next 15 hours with the railing embedded in his leg while doctors figured out how to remove it following the accident in the early hours of Saturday morning. The railing was mere inches from several major arteries and could have pierced a vital organ but after a one-hour operation to remove it, Richard was back home on Monday night.
