Stuck On A Lamp Post Prank Leaves You Asking For Help [VIDEO]

The video "Stuck On A Lamp Post" is getting A LOT of attention from people surfing the web because it shows that if you have someone wrap their legs around a lamp post and sit down, its nearly IMPOSSIBLE to stand up. 

We certainly DO NOT encourage you to try this alone. In order to get out of this position, you have to have an extreme amount of upper body strength to lift yourself. As you can see in this video, this guy lacks the strength to lift himself up.

This restraint technique was often used in World War 2 and it can be very dangerous if you are left there sitting. Obviously you will begin to cramp until you pass out, thus causing complications with breathing if you fall backwards.

While this prank may be entertaining, it can be VERY DANGEROUS. Please don't try this alone and if you're with somebody that does try this maneuver, don't leave them stranded.
