About 18 inches of the fence, including a spike that pierced the man’s leg, was removed and sent to the hospital with the man, WHDH reported.
The man was not identified, but the Manchester Union-Leader described him as a 30-year-old North Carolina resident.
Firefighters found the man outside Manchester’s Hilton Garden Inn, WHDH reported.
“He was actually in pretty good shape. He was texting and making phone calls. He was very cooperative,” said Lt. Max Chiasson, Manchester Fire Department, told WHDH.
It took eight firefighters to help free the man, WHDH said.
“There were a few moments where things were getting moved around. There were some power tools being operated. He cringed a few times but for the most part he was just like, ‘Get me out of here,’” Chiasson told WHDH.
Firefighters and paramedics used saws, hydraulic cutting tools and a cutting wheel, the Union-Leader reported.
The man was lucky considering where he landed, as the fence missed arteries, ligaments and bones, firefighters told WHDH.
The man was reported in stable condition, WHDH said.
Police told WHDH the man was literally caught in the act of trying to run out of a bar after a fight over a bill.

Stupid SOB. Isn't that exactly what those spiked fence bars are for? Now let's see how many zingers we can come up with.
1. Now he not only still owes for the bar tab, he's also on the hook for the damage to the fence.
2. I guess the punch isn't the only thing that was spiked!
3. When he says he's hanging out at the bar, he's really hanging out at the bar!
Good ones...and yes, I think he got the point: running out on a bar tab is something that can really stick with you.
At least there won't be any need to spear-head an investigation for his capture.
Anyone else?
He was on the fence about paying his bill...
Perhaps he was drinking imPALEd ale.
He'll be skipping for a while longer than he planned. This proves the wisdom of outlawing texting while running. At least the bar tab won't cost him an arm and a leg.
This is why there can be no sitting on the fence over paying your bill.
He should have paid the bar tab. I think it's going to be a bigger bill at the hospital than what he rang up at this bar, and now he has two bills to pay.
lmao at this fool.
I realize he was probably drunk, but it's just sad that he couldn't clear what looks to be a 3 feet high fence.
1) Don't be a prick, because life might just prick you back.
2) Well, he certainly can't blame this on not enough IRON in his diet!
3) He really did get a "leg up" in this situation...
4) He ran from a bar, and got run-through BY a bar. How IRONic.
*Bad-DUM-tish!*
His mother always told him.........."don't get caught hanging around bars".
You should always pay your bill............do you think he gets the point now.
the bar bill... is to dam high...and so am i...
haha...thanks for the great humor in all these creative replies. I can't top any of them but sure got some entertainment out of reading them.
North Carolina state motto is "First in Flight"....what they left out was Last in Brains.
Actually, "First in Flight" might be appropriate, depending on your definition of "flight".
He didn't pay his bar bill and the only one who received a tip was him when he attempted to jump the fence.
1. You have to study to pass the bar
2. Sounds like a sticky situation
3. Maybe he was participating in a beer Olympics
4. Walking out on your tap is not very POLE-ite
5. At least he can say he took a stab at it.
I would have to say he "got the shaft" by getting busted!
At the end of the night, he felt the "last shot"
They always say that "too much alcohol can hurt ones stomach"
Wonder if he will have to post bail?
Haha ok maybe mine wasn't that great but you guys had some good ones. Enjoyed reading them. Anyways this is hilarious, worlds dumbest criminals material if someone was able to record it. That fence is really more for aesthetics than it is security and it still did the job. How could he not jump that? What a doofus.
I'd say he deserved what he got and I hope he learned his lesson. Clearly he's got some issues to iron out now.
It is time
Be careful when trying to "stick it to the man"..
Talk about getting drunk and all of the "hang-ups" coming out..
Not the only guy on the planet to get drunk and brag about being "hung"..
Now he gets 3 hots and a cot and he's still stuck. But he gets to stay in the bars till way past lights out.
He'll probably be picket-ing the bar soon for damages.
When karma actually strikes accordingly.
Nice of him to stick around and pay that bill.
Over the bar and through the fence
To granmother's house we go
Oh, how the wind does blow
It stings the nose
And bites the toes,
As over oops into the fence we go........
Karma just gave this fool a warning poke, if he doesn't listen next time she'll really jab him.

He should have paid the bar tab. I think it's going to be a bigger bill at the hospital than what he rang up at this bar, and now he has two bills to pay.
.......I seriously doubt a guy like this would be responsible enough to buy health insurance, so he will probably skip out on that bill as well, leaving it for you and me to pay in the form of higher insurance premiums. To bad there wasn't a pit bull on the other side of that fence to help remove his leg (off of that metal stake). This is what happens when you get hung up on paying your bills.
These are all very good POSTS......I know, the guy above used it but I needed to LINK it to something.
Like Rick on "The Walking Dead" the bar owners should have left him stuck on the fence and let the zombies get him.
I think he thought the state motto "Live free or die' mean't the meal was free because he didn't die. Too bad he impaled his leg and not his nads.
Do 'bars' usually 'tip' patrons?
The courts do not mete out justice, but this guy got some punishment. Hope he has to pay the bar bill, cost of his rescue, cost of the fence and the hospital bill; but as someone else said, probably has no insurance for the hospital and the taxpayers will get the shaft for that (no pun intended) as well as the expense for the rescue.
And it looks like his drinks got spiked.
HMMMMM North carolina , skipping out on a bar bill , could this guy be a MONDAY ??? Whats next ? The slimy bast#rd gonna sue the owner of the fence ??? I'd kill him !!!
the police had a "leg-up" on his capture.
Way to play deFENCE when making a run for the goal.
I guess now he really does hate to eat and run!
Thanks for the laughs:)
Thanks for the chuckles!
He tried to outrun the bar
but did not have a car
he tried to jump the fence
but got a nasty scar
he got impaled good,
although it missed the vital spots
some organs of the body though..
feel mighty hot
when he comes out of this
a lawer he will befriend,
together they will sue the bar
for an amount that knows no end
when the case gets thrown out
he will be madder than hell
would want to go and fight
but the scars will ring a bell
he will have to avoid the fence
for he can't clear it with all his might
even if he got in,
it will still be in the way when the time comes for his 'flight'
will he get it again ? or will he clear it this time
betcha he does not make it, i would not want to bet a dime
brains and brawns , he is missing out big
and writing this song, I absolutely dig
but i have work to do, and have to end it right
this is the story of the bar jumper and his impaled plight!
it is a 3 for jumping out on the bar tab, but a 10 for sticking the landing.
ObamaCare - we are all on the hook for his medical expenses.
lololol he stuck the landing, good job doggin.
What is going to cost him more, the bar bill or the medical bill?
In our city they are plannning to make victims who are in car accidents pay for any rescue crews (ambulance, firefighters to hose down the gasoline at the scene, etc.). STICK this to him as well and I'm sure he'll get the POINT!
obamacare ain't gon'a cover it...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2scxJNXjMI&feature=related

Not even a spike to the leg will stop people from texting! Plus a phone call? Obviously liquored up!
Texting while impaled ?
Well, you know what his deFENSE will be.
But may not have a leg to stand on though.
Of course he was cooperative - he didn't have much of a choice
I hope sensitive sally's don't freak out about those kinds of fences and how dangerous they are. Fence did it's job well. And HAHA to the idiot.
Mmmmm........I love the taste of karma.
You can run, but you can't hide. Not only will he have to pay his bar/dinner tab but also pay for the ambulance, EMTs, ER docs and any surgical repairs necessary. Rusty spikes cause lockjaw. Maybe this will shut him up.
And his insurance (if he has any) doesn't cover stupidity.
He deserved it! Maybe now he will get the point.
"Bar Bill points to Bankruptcy" he could'nt pay the bar bill....just wait. This is America....ultimately this could run $100,000. Tax payer funded no less.
Leave the poor guy alone, he was hungover.
Very, subtly, clever!
He needs to hang it up, as he doesn't have a leg to stand on. I think he went after the fence, but it was able to "stand it's ground" and apparently he wasn't. Thank God he could still text and talk on the phone (maybe he was wiring money to the bar to pay his tab? Ha Ha Ha), but I'll bet he never tap dances again. I think if I was a patron at this bar/restaurant, I would have walked over and pissed all over him!
"Viva Manch-Vegas!"
NH: the South of the North, but with lousy weather.
and smarter people and fences they can point out someone from the south!
Good thing he saved all that money on his bar bill. Hope his leg is in good shape for moving all over the country dodging his medical bills.
What part of thou shall not steal... did you not understand? LOL Now, you not only have a bar bill, but a bill for the fence and medical bills as well. Sometimes, it is just easier to be honest! Sheesh!
Yet another example of the term "shallow end of the gene pool".
Yeah, too bad Darwin lost on this one.
Jackass......skipping out on a bill...... some poor waitress just trying to make a living would have had to eat it . Serves him right . It doesn't pay to be a tool.....
In Colorado the cops would ticket the bartender for even serving the guy without first knowing whether he'd pay his bar tab.
Sounds like you have tried this on a bartender or two.....
Sad but true, he'll probably sue the proprietor for having an "unsafe" fence and win.
Gotta love karma!
The guy was an Obama campaign employee who was arguing that the bill was due to be paid by the Democratic Party.
You have to love liberal Democrat King Obama supporters. They really are "supporters". Who else, in their right mind" would think the bar bill should be paid by the Democrats? But that is EXACTLY what the Democrats have been doing to the people of the USA each time they takeover the White House and other branches of fed. govt. Pelosi thought this is her country, put here to be used by her, for her and at the expense of --- you and I. Jesse Jackson, the Kennedys, Tip O'Neill, Pat Schroeder, Rangle, Durbin, all of them. They all believe the USA is here just to make sure they are all babied.
Nice. To be a Democrat, one merely has to avoid thinking about reality.
To be an Obama supporter, one merely needs to stop thinking.
No Mo O in 2012. Kick the Socialist Dictator out.
Moron. He was obviously vacationing with Mitt.
Troll. 'nuff said.
Congrats on both you tards for injecting politics into a unpaid bill story. Smooth move Exlax. Mom must be proud.
Does your mommy know you're using the computer?
living proof that bul$#!t walks and talks
Instant karma.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Dumbass. Pay your bar tab.
Stupid comment.
Someone might say that that is what he gets for trying to skip out on the bill.
OUCH!
