Embarrassing Moment Teen Needs Rescuing From Child's Swing By Fire Fighters

Everything seems a good idea when you're a teenager...

Everything is a good idea when you're a teenager.

Hanging around by Camden Locks while grotty-looking men try and sell you drugs? Yeah, fuck it. Buying yellow skinny fit jeans because Johnny Burrell had them? Yeah, fuck it. Drinking in a park with booze stolen from your dad's alcohol cupboard? Yeah, fuck it.

More often than not, though, all those things you did as a teenager which you thought were a good idea don't end in the emergency services being called out... except maybe the drinking in a park.

For one 14-year-old girl, though, she had to live through the horror of doing something stupid for a laugh, thinking it was a good idea, only to get stuck and need the fire brigade to rescue her.

Getting in a child's swing in the park for a laugh? Yeah, fuck it.

The teenager needed her friends to call 999 when they realised she was fully wedged into the swing and wouldn't be getting out on her own.

The toddler's swing at the King George V Playing Fields in Walsall was given the specialist saw treatment to get the girl out having been sat there for half-an-hour before the fire brigade arrived.

After 20 minutes' work, she was set free and suffered no injuries... except maybe to her ego.

Wolverhampton Fire Station later tweeted:


Still pretty embarrassing, though, let's be honest. Poor girl.
