Iron Stomach Competitor Falls in Puke-Covered Tarp

September 18, 2014

Let’s be honest: That shirt sucked anyway.

According to The Concourse, the Iron Stomach is an eating and drinking challenge at University College Dublin in which competitors consume ungodly amounts of food and beverage until they bow out of the competition one by one.

As you might expect, the expulsion of the food and beverage combo is one of the most entertaining-and probably most necessary-happenings of the challenge, and there is a gigantic tarp in front of the stage that protects the spectators from getting doused with vomit.

But after this year’s challenge, the tarp will be known for serving two more purposes: protecting the competitors from breaking their faces when they fall off the stage and helping freshmen become instant celebrities on YouTube.

We’re not sure who we feel sorrier for, the poor bastard who wrecked his back-to-school gear from Abercrombie & Fitch, or the two blokes who had to reach out and grab a hold of his puke-covered body to pull him back up onto the stage.
