One mother wasn’t really able to get into the swing of things this bank holiday weekend. A video has emerged online showing Megan Kenway-Head get stuck in a child’ swing.
The enthusiastic 23-year-old was trapped in the seat at a play park in Weston Shore in Southampton for over an hour until firefighters turned up to free her.
The full time mother of two, from Woolston, Southampton, says: ‘Me and my family were enjoying a day out on bank holiday weekend and I decided to take the kids to the park.
‘When we got there the children weren’t really interested in being there, so I decided to get them in the mood and climbed into a swing.
‘They found it entertaining and sat in the ones next to me and we all started swinging.’ Megan said it wasn’t the first time she had been on the child’s swing although events took at unexpected turn this time around.
She says: ‘When I went to get out I realised I was stuck. The kids started laughing.’ Her partner Jordan Sanders, 24, who works in marketing, tried to lift Megan out, and even called on a stranger to help. Megan says: ‘Two fully grown men tried to help me shuffle my body out but I didn’t budge.
‘They even turned me upside down but when that failed, we finally we decided it was probably a good idea to call for help. ‘The day definitely took a funny turn.’
The fire service arrived and placed a foot stool underneath Megan’s feet so she was able to hoist her body out of the swing. Megan added: ‘When they turned up and saw me stuck they found it amusing.
‘While they were working out how to free me one of them joked about amputating one of me legs. ‘I was mortified but glad to see the funny side of it. ‘Using the foot stall I was able to free my bottom from the seat. I’m really thankful to the fire service for rescuing me.
‘I have some bruising from it on my legs, but other than that I’m completely fine. ‘I definitely won’t be going on a child’s swing any time soon!’ Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service said: ‘We were called to a 23 year -old female released from a child’s swing.’
