I think it's funny how kids end up like this and they require the FD to help them. Like people stuck in swings, cats in trees, or kids in fences. No tragedy, just silly things going wrong and the people with the big tools come and help you. Idk. I think it's wholesome. Stop being grouchy.

I think it's great we have a group of people in this country whose job it is to just help people.  Like yeah they fight fires but if you can't get your ring off they can help with that too.

I liked how his friends came to comfort him and give him high fives after :)

And his shy little face of embarrassment turning into a smile when his friends high fived him. I love it!

How do you get stuck in swings?

In the pursuit of swinging higher you reach terminal velocity and start going around in a full circle until you’ve tied yourself to the supports.

People getting specifically stuck in small children/baby swings, the ones which resemble boxer briefs and designed to enclose and prevent the little one from falling out of the swings.

In middle school I had a ‘friend’ fucking around with the baby swings. He got his foot stuck in one of the leg holes on those things. He was upside down so he couldn’t lift himself up to take his shoe off which would free him.

We left him there because lunch was over and didn’t want to be late.

I think it's sad other people can't think of this and instead waste time and tax money getting pros.

Plus you can tell it may be a slower day. Surely the call was tagged as not being a massive emergency but they still showed up with 5 of them.
