A 13-yr-old boy gets stuck himself in a pickle after crawling into a giant claw machine.
He climbed into an arcade game at Carowinds Park in North Carolina in an apparent attempt to steal one of the prizes.
The machine is about 7 feet long and 5 feet wide, which gave him plenty of time to reflect on his mistake while rescuers tried to extricate him, reports Metro.
A medical team was also present to administer first aid to him before he was handed over to his guardian.
No charges were brought against the youth, but he was banned from visiting the park for a year, reports Metro.
It comes after a young boy in Bangladesh boards a shipping container during a game of hide-and-seek, but is taken to Malaysia instead.
The container left Bangladesh on January 11 and arrived in Port Klang, Malaysia six days later, with a boy named Faheem trapped inside with no access to food or water.
The starving youth was discovered after dockworkers heard banging on the walls seeking help, reports Metro.
Although authorities initially suspected he was a victim of human trafficking, there was no evidence a crime had taken place.
