A lucky escape

VFTS reminds me to mention this story:

By her own admission, the university undergraduate had been ‘mucking about’ in her flatmate Lisa Smith’s bedroom when she fell off the bed.

In a freak turn of events the 18-year-old then knocked over a nearby clothes horse which landed on her, with the narrow rails trapping her by the head and shoulders. In desperation she called a friend to explain her predicament. Despite her best efforts and desperate attempts by her flatmate, Miss Morgan just could not free herself. Dressed in her pyjamas and dressing gown, she was forced to call on staff at her hall of residence at the University of Derby.

They tried wriggling the clothes horse this way and that but it was all to no avail and eventually the fire brigade was called....

All I can say is she had a lucky escape! Two months ago some poor bloke was actually killed by a clothes horse.
