He squeezed himself into the child seat of a park’s swing set and got stuck for nine hours overnight before firefighters rescued him the next morning. Since his friends abandoned him, I wonder if they’ll pay off the bet? And even if they do, cash-strapped Vallejo is liable to send him a bill for the rescue effort and then there are the hospital emergency room charges. That $100 bet will probably cost him well over a thousand dollars. Since his name hasn’t been released, I’ll call him Mr. Shit-For-Brains.
YOU CAN BET SWINGER WON’T TRY THIS AGAIN
Police say a man made a $100 bet with his friends that he could fit into a child's diaper-like swing seat

VALLEJO, Calif. — A 21-year-old Northern California man was left hanging at a playground swing set overnight after he got stuck in the diaper-like seat for nine hours.
Vallejo police say the man made a $100 bet with his friends that he could fit into a child's swing at Blue Rock Springs Park on Friday night. With the help of liquid laundry detergent, he managed to slide his legs into the seat.
Authorities say that's when he got stuck -- and his friends took off.
A groundskeeper found the man screaming for help the next morning. Firefighters cut the chains off the swing and took him to the hospital, where a cast cutter was used to remove the seat.
The man's name has not been released.
