A Danish man is in critical condition after a champagne bottle he held between his legs exploded in his crotch on New Year’s Eve, according to a report Tuesday.

A Danish man is in critical condition after a champagne bottle exploding and causing a shard of glass to hit him in the crotch by cutting through an artery in his leg, causing significant blood loss, reported the Daily Mail. The man is currently in one of Denmark’s largest hospitals called the Copenhagen Rigshospitalet and was put in an induced coma, according to regional police officer Brian Munch, reported The Local Denmark.

While doctors warn about “champagne injuries” during the holiday season, most are caused by the champagne cork, not from the glass bottle. A study in 2011 by Morrisons found that 900,000 people in England suffer champagne-related injuries, reported The Huffington Post.
