Adults get stuck in playground equipment and jungle gyms

  • FEMAIL has rounded up images of teenagers and grown adults who tried unsuccessfully to play on jungle gyms
  • Several have required assistance from police and firefighters to set them free after getting stuck 

No matter their age, some adults are just big kids at heart. Really, really big kids.

But feeling young on the inside doesn’t have much impact on your physical appearance — and it most certainly doesn’t mean you can do anything a kid can do.

Unfortunately, some people have to learn that the hard way. In spite of physics, basic geometry, and common sense, adults and teens continue to try to use playground equipment designed for children, with disastrous results.

Sometimes they do so responsibility — and other times, not so much, causing them to get stuck in baby swings and jungle gyms that were never meant to fit someone their size.

Lucky for the rest of us, many of those embarrassing incidents are caught on camera thanks to not-so-loyal friends who happily snap away at the scene — even when the police have to come to help someone out of a too-small tunnel.
