Man With Each Arm Stuck in Machinery Uses Toe to Call 911

5/03/2008

Florida: A man in Fort Walton Beach was freed by firefighters Thursday and airlifted to a hospital after getting his arms stuck at work around 2 a.m. They came to his rescue after he managed to dial 911 with his big toe on his flip phone.

He managed to shake the phone from his belt and dial it after kicking off a shoe and using the other foot to help pull off the sock.The press-like machine that looked like an elevator would've held him until morning if no call was made; he was alone.

A compressor was shut off behind the building by firefighters and the worker was then pried out of the machinery with a thick metal bar. According to rescuers, both arms should be fine.
