Christians believe God works all things for good and that must have been the case for plumber Juan Ramon Monzon who reportedly found faith after surviving being impaled and electrocuted in a rather sensitive area.
The Argentinian was working up a tower to install a new plumbing system and part of the job involved putting a large water tank into place.
But he got a little too close to a provisional connection for the mains electricity coming into the tower and he got zapped in the privates, reports the Daily Star.
The shock threw him backwards and over an unfinished balcony, and he fell five metres to the ground where he was impaled by a water pipe.
Doctors at the hospital had to treat him with the pipe still lodged in his torso. And that wasn't his only injuries, as the electric shock left him with severe burns, largely to his privates, and he suffered a broken nose and fractured forehead in the fall.
To his horror, he nearly missed out on hospital treatment after discovering that his boss had been employing him without the necessary medical insurance.
His sister Roxana said they had to put "a lot of pressure" on the hospital to get him treated.
In the end, he recovered so well that he was allowed to leave the hospital after one day and with just an aspirin for the pain.
If there's one thing Monzon is sure of after going through all of that, it's the existence of God.
"I didn't know I didn't have medical insurance or indeed any work insurance, and as a married man with the young son, I don't know how I'm going to get by because of the moment I just can't work," he said.
"But I believe in God – who couldn't believe in God after experiencing what I have and still be alive?"
