A YouTuber almost died when he placed his head in a microwave that filled him with Polyfilla – a building material used for installing tiles.
Jay Swingler, 22, from Wolverhampton, probably wanted to create a viral video and succeeded. However, together with his friend Rommel Henry, they were forced to call the fire brigade when the tube he was using to breathe became clogged.
You can watch the video below.
When the problems arose, Swingler's friend tried to disassemble the microwave oven and remove the tile adhesive, but couldn't manage it. At least five firefighters and an ambulance were needed to free a head from a microwave oven…
The West Midlands Fire Service with a tweet reported after the end of Swingler's adventure: “We are impressed. Five of our firefighters were needed for an hour this afternoon to free the head of a YouTuber who had «capped» inside a microwave oven”.
Unfortunately, YouTube encourages this kind of videos. How?
So far, TGFbro has had 1,943,683 views since it was posted Thursday afternoon, and those clicks are money. He'll probably make several hundred dollars for his stupidity, which, in addition to being very dangerous, sent five firefighters and an ambulance running and never arriving.
Swingler also asked his viewers not to repeat what he did.
