Bay Area Man Gets Stuck in Baby Swing for Nine Hours

October 25, 2011 Updated Oct 25, 2011 at 1:00 PM PDT

(LA Times) Some bets just shouldn't be made.

Just ask a 21-year-old Vallejo man who made a $100 bet with his friends that he could fit into a baby swing at a local park.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the unidentified man -– who should be thanking police for not releasing his name –- lubed himself up with liquid laundry detergent and jammed himself into the kiddie swing's leg holes about 9 p.m. Friday.

But he got stuck, his legs swelled and he couldn't get out.

To make matters worse, his friends abandoned him.

The newspaper reported that nine hours passed before a groundskeeper heard him screaming for help at 6 a.m. the next morning.

Vallejo firefighters tried to free him, but ultimately took him to a hospital –- still in the swing.
