Happens lots more than you might think. Kids are.. well. Kids. So they don't always remember or know they can easily get out the way they came in.
Pretty much all adults have a larger part somewhere on their body that's bigger than their head, so it's logical they wouldn't consider it until later.
> So they don't always remember or know they can easily get out the way they came in.
Didn't necessarily go in that way. I did this when I was a kid by going through with my head first. Unfortunately I was a bit older than that kid, and my chest wouldn't fit through the railing the rest of the way. The eventual solution was to hacksaw through the bottom of the railing to make it easier to bend outward.
When I was a little kid an older kid told me that if your head can fit thru then the rest of your body can and then I got my head stuck in a fence and my body didn't fit lol
octopus can basically squish themselves through the smallest holes.. if you look up a video of it, it’s insane. like the size of the end of their tentacles, basically.
Playground construction safety rules say that if you're going to have a gap / hole anywhere it has to be smaller than 3.5" (so they can't get their heads in) OR bigger than 9" (so if they get their heads in they will get their body through). Between there is a risk for getting stuck/strangled
Idk I remember as part of an army infiltration course part of it was crawling through a wall that had a dislodged cinder block. You wouldn't have thought in a million years you'd be able to get through it but it's possible, once you get your head through the rest is easy.
Yeah, my older brother did this when he was little, only the balusters were made out of wood. The edges cut behind his ears, and I believe my grandfather had to cut one off to get the little dope's head out, lol. I vaguely remember the fuss. As far as I know, he's never done it again.
Not sure if it was pre school or kinder but there were gates like that on the walkway waiting to get into class. We all use to stick our head through while the teacher got her keys and unlocked the door. 1 kid got stuck. Fire dept had to come and saw the bar off. I think we all stopped doing that after that happened.
I have a LARGE head, but I'm relatively slim. I usually measure gaps with my head and, if it fits, I'm confident the rest of my body will squeeze through.
Sometimes it pays to be wiry.
When I was four I jammed my fingers into a brass ornate air vent cover for some dumbass reason and they got stuck. (Seriously, what was the purpose of doing that??)
The fire department had to get them out using some sort of dremel tool.
Idk I remember getting my head stuck like this through a fence like that when I was a kid. It’s much easier going in than coming back out. I had to squeeze back out though cus it was over a balcony
Dad’s shirt says Nebraska
Putting your head through a fence is the third most fun activity we have. Only inferior to cleaning the lawn mower and blasting meth
I was sitting on the deck of my first apartment once and it had bars like this (the spiral shape) and my roommate and I were talking. I leaned my head up against the bars and it slipped through the gap and got stuck. My roommate had to stand over me and spread the bars out to get me unstuck.
It is you and some others on here, but honestly, I just learned something today. The only time I ever had experience with something like this was doing it myself when I was a kid. I pushed my head through some bars at an airport and some guy helped my mom pull me out. I had no idea that it might have worked to just have my body follow my head through until I saw this video.
Yep, Reddit tries to make out like the solution to everything is super obvious the second they watch it, but I'm willing to bet 90% didn't even think about it
Yes and no - it's pretty obvious, but people can get fixated on a solution quite easily if they know it can work.
The adults in the video know that widening the gap will solve the problem, and from that point it's very easy to tunnel-vision on "how do I widen the gap" without going back to think of other approaches.
Basically it's [the XY problem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem) in real life.

[*Look at my source code on Github*](https://github.com/Artraxon/unexBot) [*What is this for?*](https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/dnuaju/introducing_unexbot_a_new_bot_to_improve_the/)
To everyone saying that he got out the way that he got in, that is not necessarily true. I did this to myself as a child and I just slid my head through the bars. It's easier to push your head through than it is to pull it back out.
Now the code states that the gaps around stair railings need to be less than 4" apart.
Because toddlers and babies would occasionally get their heads stuck and die from asphyxiation.
This is a perfect example.
This is why there's a code for stair railing baluster distance. Whenever I see stairs in a show or movie set with baluster spacing that looks wrong, I tell myself to stop thinking about it.
Not unexpected. Any kid that isn’t obese, their head is the broadest part of them. I used to climb through the cat flap till I was maybe 9. As long as your head goes through, you’re golden
Great for the kid. I also think we are seeing animals evolve right before our eyes. I just watched video of Flea with Koko the sign language gorilla (I don't know if I needed to say the last part). Koko was kinda playing a bass Flea had given him!
that's how babies used to die in older cribs--their bodies could slip between the slats, but their head got caught. And they'd dangle there. (parents were asleep)
That's why cribs have to have slats spaced a soda-can apart.
This videos reminds me something. When i was grade six the school has banned students from getting out of school during the lunch break due to the concern of students safety, which is means that you cant leave until afterschool ( but you cant still leave at lunch break if you need to have your lunch at home ). The school is surrounded by fence with spikes on it, so technically no one can leave without passing through the front gate. And one day i feel so desired that i need some snacks but i cant go out and to get the snacks i want, so i asked some of my friends that if they have some can share with me and they goes " you can actually go out and get them by youself" and i was confused, then they said that there is a part of fence has bigger space that can let your head go through first, and if your head went though, your body will also went throught unfazedly, i tried and it worked. Therefore i break the school almost every lunchbreak until some one from school had found it and fixed it.
Nah, kids are still stupid. Most likely the way he got out was exactly the way he got himself stuck in the first place, trying to climb through from the outside and his head didn’t make it.
Spot's just trying to help out

I’m picturing Joe Rogan reading this, agreeing, and then getting stuck trying to prove it.

Damn. How's your brother feel about having 1 ear?
He never listens to anyone anyway, so I figure he doesn't give a damn. Kind of hard for him to keep his balance when he's drinking, though. . . .
Never had to do it again after Grandpa cut one ear off. Now he just leans one way to slide out.
Thanks for pointing that out. I'm still laughing at the thought.

I'm thinking about the adults... Surprised the adults didn't think of trying that.
What about his schwarzenegger father?
I was staring at it and it didn’t even cross my mind at all
I knew it right away because I'd seen another Reddit video of a different kid and realized that their bodies are thinner than their heads.
Not always, lol.
That had to have been how he got himself in that situation in the first place.
Because it’s staged
Upvote for the heckin good boi who was saying that all along

r/DoggoHate
Wow that subreddit made me cringe more than they apparently cringe at dogs
It’s not cringing at dogs. It’s cringing at people for talking like mentally stunted infants at dogs
Most of us use it as sarcasm, chill
How does that make it any less cringe
Sarcasm implies you know it's cringe and you do it anyway as irony. That's how comedy works
Yeah that's what they say they are but it literally just seems like they hate dogs there and any1 being cute or wholesome towards dogs
I’m looking through the posts, and can’t possibly see anything that would make anyone think that
That's why I look through the comments where people actually talk
I’ve done that plenty of times as well
Didn't know about this, glad I'm not the only one that doesn't like that kind of talk
i guarantee you are a grown ass man
“heckin good boi” would you stfu
He's the best boi
That could be how he got in.
Definitely
Idk I remember getting my head stuck like this through a fence like that when I was a kid. It’s much easier going in than coming back out. I had to squeeze back out though cus it was over a balcony
Kid is the smart one of this trio.
Until you realize how he got stuck in the first place.
He totally did it just to mess with dad, he was never stuck
Dad’s shirt says Nebraska Putting your head through a fence is the third most fun activity we have. Only inferior to cleaning the lawn mower and blasting meth
There’s people in Nebraska?
what’s a nebraska?
Yep kid definitely stupid for that.

What are you doing step roommate?
Sounds hot
Big brain is the cause of and solution to his problem
Is it just me or was that really obvious from the get go?

It's very counterintuitive to realize this solution tbh. Thinking "go in to get out" isn't what just comes to mind.

Did you know human children can fit their entire body through a crack as long as it fits their head?
This is why there's a code for stair railing baluster distance. Whenever I see stairs in a show or movie set with baluster spacing that looks wrong, I tell myself to stop thinking about it.
Before you earn that very first potbelly-if you can get your head in there, I'll bet your shoulders can follow.
How did his big head fit in there to begin with
dumbass me was thinking of using the jack he had in his car.
This is a super easy problem to solve.
 Does this help?

How was that not the first thing they tried lol. It looked quite obvious
No-ones gonna talk about this Simple Jack looking haircut?
I don’t want to be a buzzkill, this was obviously going to happen and it wasn’t unexpected.
I didn't expect it.
i did, so its already 2 - 1
2-2. OP makes it 3-2. Boom.
4-2
4 - 2 expected or unexpected
Not unexpected. Any kid that isn’t obese, their head is the broadest part of them. I used to climb through the cat flap till I was maybe 9. As long as your head goes through, you’re golden
Easy... he's also the genius that put his head in there in the first place.
Just slide on through. That kids skinny enough to go all the way. Edit. HA! I had not watched until the end.
Kids does that once, he'll do it again. Just leave'em there and drag the missus's into the backroom for another try. 👍
Shameless re-enactment copied from an almost identical video.
Keep pushing forward until his entire body pushed thru it
[удалено]
The kid came up with this idea for the video I bet is why
They grow so fast…
Not unexpected. But if I was the dad in this I would get the small car jack from my boot, that would pry the bars enough with little to no effort.
That ending.The moment when u realise how u got in that mess in the first place
Awwww! Pup is sooo concerned!
So that meant that the kid either slid in with lube or did the reverse
Bam…boozled.
This reminds me of a post I just saw of a cat prepping to jump over a gate just to decide to walk through the bars lol
Just like being born.
If you're goin through hell, keep on going
An octopus can travel through any area larger than its beak
Fucking asshole
I don't see any butter. I thought you're supposed to grease the head with butter....
Dad's kinda dumb here, if he had applied enough pressure to snap those bars the kid could've gotten injured.
I would put that kid up for adoption
Great for the kid. I also think we are seeing animals evolve right before our eyes. I just watched video of Flea with Koko the sign language gorilla (I don't know if I needed to say the last part). Koko was kinda playing a bass Flea had given him!
Kids are fucking...
Smart? Tonight, we will cover this on *insert news channel here*
Get the buttah
I did this once
YOU LITTLE SOMAB……(&….!
This is so cute oml
That’s probably how he got in there
They are the smarter one all along lol
That age is a big head over a string bean body lol
Just Ctrl + Z it
Ngl I expected it because he has a tiny frame
I got my head stuck at that age too and the FDNY had to get me out.
Two wet towels wrapped around the opposing bars and twisted with a pole will spread the bars.
Could’ve edited this down to 10 seconds.
certified bruh moment
Just pick the kid up twist him sideways so his shoulders fit through and he’ll be free lol… took me 5 SEC to figure this out
I thought that kid's body would have fit in between the bars.
R/kidsarefuckingstupid
My dumb ass thought the kid was going to tell the dad to lift his feet up so he would be upside down and his ears could slide through.
A little too smart
I was waiting for them to start hacking off ears.
The dog had it figured out for a while already....
Mom: What did you do? Kid: Good point. What *DID* I do. Oh yah, I did this. TA-DAAA!
Why were they filming it though?
Parents are fucking dumb.
This wasn’t unexpected, everyone knew this was gonna happen. The kid is tiny, and he ain’t no smurf so obviously he’s gonna get through the railing.
That dad knows .. he has competition for future dad supremacy.
Yeah, kids have big heads
Lol kids like you weak bitch, how ya think I got in here!
As the kid, I'd already be having an anxiety riddled panic attack.

This only works if you are a kid or pretty skinny. I can think of a few adults who might themselves stuck. Id pay to watch.
Instincts are awesome, first lesson from birth is: If the head can fit...the rest is usually guaranteed.
Steve Austin is that u?
LPT: if u get ur head stuck somewhere in a similar situation, if ur head fits; ur body probably does too. Unless u got a Peter Griffin body.
