California was that Chuck E Cheese Leicester'say Chuck E Cheese
fantastic placet place to be a kid. When she decided
to go inside a kids game called snow Day. She
got her arms stuck somehow. Firefighters had to come and
free her and the game kids go in a large
phone booth I shaped like a chamber. Balls dropped from
the top. You're supposed to grab the balls, put them

(03:19):
in a hole certain amount of time. Yeah, got the
woman got her whole arms stuck inside the hole, so
she was trapped. She couldn't move painful naturally. There's a
lot of people around there with cell phones. Yes, so
they all took photos of her being stuck inside the machine.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Why don't you putting her whole hand up in that?

Chuck E Cheese? I don't so. It took firefighters twenty
ten minutes to rescuers. Oh man, at that point, let

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Yeah, I'm they're saying it's unclear why she went into
the game or how she got suck. Could be an accident,
could be whatever. But the best part is is she
stay at Chuck e Cheese afterwards. I mean, she didn't
go home, Like, got time for me to adjust and
think about life. I'm just gonna stay here.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Especially if she's there with her kids. Though they probably
were like, we're not roady.
