Student forced to call fire brigade after getting caught in clothes horse

We’ve heard of horsing around, but this is taking it a bit too far.

A student at a UK university had to call the fire brigade after getting wedged so tightly between the rungs of a clothes horse that she couldn’t get herself free.

Danielle Morgan had been fooling around with flatmate Lisa Smith when the accident happened.

She says she fell off her bed and knocked the close horse over, somehow entangling herself in the process.

She asked the assistance of her friends at Derby University but they weren’t able to free her.

She told the Daily Mail: "My friends just thought it was hilarious. I phoned one of my friends from home when I was stuck in it and she just thought I was drunk."

Instead, they thought the incident was so hilarious that they taped it and posted it online.

In the footage, you can her friends struggling to free the first year student while she alternates between laughing and crying, saying 'it really hurts'.

Eventually she had to call the fire brigade who cut her free with bolt cutters.

Danielle says: "When we called the fire service I think they were quite amused. They said they'd seen a lot of things before but never this."

The 18-year-old suffered bruising to her neck and shoulders which was lucky – in September, an inquest was held over a father who died after becoming trapped in a clothes horse.

38-year-old British man Brian Depledge died from asphyxiation after falling backwards into the plastic drying rack.

The coroner said at the time there was more chance of being killed by ‘lightning or meteorite' than to die in that way.
