Aug. 18 (UPI) -- Emergency responders in Connecticut were called to a playground for an unusual rescue when a 40-year-old man became wedged inside the middle portion of a tube slide.
The Town of Vernon Fire Department said on social media that crews responded alongside Vernon EMS and the Vernon Police Department just after 4:30 p.m. Saturday for "a confined space rescue of a 40 year old adult male stuck in a tube slide on the playground."
The man was said to be "wedged feet and head first" in the middle portion of the slide at Northeast Elementary School. Photos from the scene show the man had somehow ended up sideways, with his body folded at the waist.
The rescuers set up ventilation equipment to keep the man cool amid the high temperatures inside the slide.

Creepy and Darwin award all in one story.
“”””The man was said to be “wedged feet and head first” in the middle portion of the slide at Northeast Elementary School””””
Better left to 10 year olds to try this trick.
He was a Shakespearian actor.................
Tu be or not tu be......That is the question..............
[The man was said to be “wedged feet
and head first” in the middle
portion of the slide]
What information did he have
on Hillary Rodham Clinton?
‘The better part of valor is discretion‘
‘Cry “havoc!” and let slip ... me!‘
‘A hose! a horse! my kingdom for a hose!‘
‘Now is the slide of our discontent’
When we had some kid stuck in something, I tried to let mom or dad get a picture. “Get a picture for his high skrool yearbook, he’ll thank me later.” That would usually calm the stressed out parent.
With enough time the problem would have resolved itself.
The town is often referred to as “Vermin”.
“feet and head first”!!! Yikes! I hope he has learned his lesson!
Tube yoga?
“wedged feet and head first”
Ouch!
“Why” goes in creepy directions. Maybe it was a “tick tock” challenge?
>>>a 40-year-old man became wedged inside the middle portion of a tube slide...
The man was said to be “wedged feet and head first” in the middle portion of the slide...<<<
It’s like a L&D gone wrong. Saved by a C-section:
>>>Firefighters removed a section of slide to reach where the man was stuck.
“The patient was freed within 30 minutes and was evaluated on scene by EMS.<<<
‘Oh Brave New Slide that has such people in it!’..................
“wedged feet and head first”
How exactly do you do that?
“wedged feet and head first”
How do one even do that?
By leaning forward as you enter the tube instead of leaning back. Had he leaned back, he'd probably have been okay.
Very carefully?
I wouldn’t have done it anyway, but , with my claustrophobia, getting stuck in that might literally drive me insane
