In a bizarre incident, an elderly woman in the UK got stuck in a recliner chair for hours before firefighters rescued her.
For the Cornish pensioner, an idyllic afternoon turned ugly as she had to be rescued by firefighters after she got stuck in her deckchair.
The lady in her 80s is believed to have been trapped for most of Monday until she was discovered in her rear garden by a neighbour who came to water the plants at about 9pm, Cornish Guardian reported.
Nearby crews from Cornwall fire and rescue service arrived soon, freeing the floundering old age pensioner and taking her to hospital, without the offending chair.
Polruan station manager, Peter Ripley, told the daily: "We don't actually know how long she was there for but it was quite a long time."
"It was one of those metal deck chairs with a canvas seat. The canvas had broken and she slipped right down in the seat and couldn't move," he said.
"It wasn't until her neighbour came to water the garden that she was discovered. Paramedics came and she was taken to hospital as a precaution," Ripley said.
"She hurt her right leg, as her legs had been over the bar. She was in the Sun all of the time too so she was dehydrated and quite brown," he added.
This latest episode deckchair trouble comes just over a year after an 83-year-old woman from Scarborough, North Yorkshire, was trapped for six hours when her recliner suffered a similar malfunction.
