Firefighters Rescue Man Who Got His Head Stuck Inside A WASHING MACHINE
This is the bizarre sight that greeted firefighters who were called out to rescue a man who somehow got his head stuck inside a washing machine.
The unnamed man was apparently inspecting the machine’s roller when his head got caught inside - and he had no way of getting out.
He is said to have been getting ready to do his laundry when he turned the machine on but noticed that nothing was happening.

After fiddling with various knobs on the machine and getting no response, the man, from Fuqing, China, thought the roller might have been malfunctioning or that there was something stuck inside.
He then decided to stick his head into the cylindrical space to inspect the roller, but was horrified to find himself stuck in the machine.
The man, shirtless and flustered from trying to escape the washing machine, was found by his flatmate minutes later, who tried to free him by applying soap to his neck.

It took a team of six firemen to rescue the man by sawing through the plastic roller and pulling it apart.
The victim suffered minor cuts on his head following the 40-minute rescue.
He later explained: “I managed to very successfully stick my head into the machine, so I don’t understand why I got stuck.”
