Wearing an inflatable sumo suit might make you feel as tough as one of the giant Japanese wrestlers, but you still have to watch your head.

One 40-year-old will certainly agree after he was knocked out cold when he tried to tackle a colleague during an event in Gloucestershire.

The London Evening Standard reported that the man then bounced off his target, fell backwards and struck his head, rendering him unconscious for a while.

An ambulance spokesperson said that the man recovered soon after and complained of pain in his nose, left shoulder and left leg.

So the next time you feel like donning a blow-up suit and ambushing a friend, remember to take care of that precious thing atop your shoulders.
