An English student had to call the emergency unit after having been stuck in a child’s swing for a cigarette, reported the Daily Mail Wednesday.

Shaun Dibsdale, 17, slipped in a swing at a nearby park with his friends in Frome, Somerset, to smoke some cigarettes. However, despite the help of his friends, he could not get out of the swing, spending more than half an hour stuck in it.

He called the emergency service and firefighters eventually had to take the swing apart to let him free.

Shaun was treated for thigh and crotch injuries afterwards.

Shaun’s friends posted the hilarious moment on social media, which was viewed by thousands of people.
