A pensioner reportedly became accidentally stuck in her deckchair for six hours yesterday morning (Tuesday, May 29).
The 83-year-old woman was sunbathing on her balcony when the fabric suddenly gave way, trapping her in the frame.
She is said to have called for help from her second floor balcony at her flat in Scarborough for several hours, but none of her neighbours heard her.
Firefighters only arrived on the scene to rescue her by chance, as they were in the area carrying out routine fire alarm checks.
She was eventually freed at around 2pm, after getting stuck at 8am. The lady was then taken to Scarborough District Hospital to make sure she didn't have any injuries.
A North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service Β­spokeswoman said: "This was an unusual incident, but our firefighters are trained for every eventuality."

A neighbour of mine,she's since passed away,I noticed the blue lights of the fire brigade late one night looked out and they were at her house.I ran over and there she was stuck in her disabled lift,her little legs dangling down and when she heard my voice the banter started.TBH the firemen ended up in fits laughing,she was hilarious and taking it in good spirit.She'd came down for a drink to take meds,she'd somehow got a slipper jammed in the lift so she was stuck with her upper body through the ceiling of the downstairs room....At her wake one of her daughters got me to tell the rest of her family about it,they were howling with laughter.

Mr Yogi would have taken photos to show everyone, before he pulled me out.

It was good that she was able to see the funny side, Lee.

Aww, poor lady! 

 

Now I'm reminded of this story -

 





A sunbather was left writhing in agony when his testicles became trapped between slats of wood in his deckchair.

Mario Visnjic had been swimming naked in the sea and returned to the wooden chair but his private parts slipped through two slats and got stuck.

 


 

He had to call beach maintenance staff on his mobile phone in naturist hotspot Valalta, near Rovinj, in the country's west.

The workers cut the deckchair in half and released Mr Visnjic, who hobbled away in relief.

When I was about 6 or so my next door neighbour went into labour and my Mum went in to help her and took me with her.  I needed a wee whilst there so I went to the loo but somehow whilst sitting on it, I fell in...bum first.  I couldn't get out and I was so scared that when I screamed nothing came out and that made me more scared.  My Mum had wondered what was taking me and come to look and found me with tears running down my face and my lips blue with not being able to breath out of fear.

 

It hadn't occured to me at all that I couldn't actually fall right down the drain
