A Philadelphia man may have had a hard time explaining why he was in the hospital to his fiancée, but it was his bachelor party, after all.
According to the Philadelphia Daily News, Patrick Gallagher's friends took him to a strip club and paid for the bachelor package, which includes special on-stage attention. At one point, the dancer reportedly slid down a pole and landed on Gallagher, who was lying flat on the stage.

The force of the impact was so strong it ruptured his bladder and caused internal bleeding. The groom left the club in severe pain, and the next morning he went to a hospital where they suggested he have surgery. The incident occurred in November 2010, but Gallagher is now suing the club seeking $50,000 for medical costs, pain, humiliation and mental anguish.
Neither the Daily News nor The Associated Press have been able to contact the owner of the club for comment.

The Daily News did, however, learn many other lawsuits have been filed against the club in recent years. They allege a beating by bouncers, over-serving of alcohol and the unauthorized use of photos in ads.
Police have also arrested seven dancers and a manager on prostitution charges.
