Bet Goes Awry As Man Gets Stuck Overnight in Baby Swing

(LOS ANGELES TIMES) If you ask a 21-year-old Vallejo man who made a bet with his friends that he could fit into a baby swing at a local park, he'd probably say now that some bets just shouldn't be made!

The San Francisco Chronicle reports the unidentified man lubed himself up with liquid laundry detergent and jammed himself into the kiddie swing's leg holes on Friday.

Then 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.

Unable to free him, Vallejo firefighters eventually took him to a hospital –- still in the swing.

"The man sustained non-life-threatening injuries to his body, but there's no word yet on the condition of his ego," the Chronicle reported.

It's not known if he collected the $100.
