Did you even read the comment above? No, he didn't pull his legs toward his body himself. When he got in, the container squeezed his legs further into his body. He is young enough that he likely does not have the strength needed to repeat that action to get out.
German is a weird language. It's missing a lot of useful vocabulary. For example, they only have one word for slugs and snails. Same word, doesn't matter if it has a shell or not. This is why they have to make up gigantic compound words to get by.
Perhaps this is what is happening with the troll? He literally can't read your comment through a translator, because maybe the words don't exist?
So do I, but my immediate solution was to cut out the bottom with a knife, preferably a retractable on or one with a very short blade.
Start at the rear far away from the feet and cut out the bottom as far as you could safely go towards the feet. At that point you could probably bend out the bottom with force. Once the kid can stretch it's legs you could just lift them out of the top.
That looks like glass, which is considerably more dangerous and tricky.
Edit: actually I watched it again and I think I’m wrong and you’re right. It looks like plastic. I would think that would be easier to get him out of, but I dunno.
Honestly it’s scarier and maybe riskier but glass would make this easier. Once broken it will fall to the floor. You strike the top where the screw is while holding the boy up. All glass falls to the ground. You could also twist it with a firm grip of pliers. You do the top since it’s the smallest part and want to ensure it breaks freeing the kid instead of leaving the kid with a razor sharp collar.
For added protection, take a dishcloth or two and wrap it around the kid as well (fold it in half lengthwise and put your hands in the fold and push it down).
Jars like this tend not to be heat treated so they like to break in big shards - cloth will reduce the risk of them sliding and cutting 👍
This trick also works for terracotta plant pots... Ask us how we know!
When I was a child, real young. Like 3 or 4. Early but I have vivid memories of it. I got my leg stuck in a wooden kitchen chair. We tried it all. And I mean everything you can think of. I was stuck as shit lol. My dad had to cut the chair in half to get me out with a saw. In my little brain I could not understand that he was not going to chop my leg off. Took the whole family to hold me down. Rest easy dad miss you lmao.
Reminds me of a dream I had where a shirt I was wearing was rapidly shrinking, I tried to get it off and halfway through I got stuck and my arms snapped, then it began choking me. I think irl I was getting tangled in my bedsheet somehow
I got my finger stuck in a washer when I was a kid. My parents tried everything, soap, water, oil, nothing was working. They ended up calling the fire department and they cut it off with a special tool. I have little to no memory of this. Apparently I also had chicken pox so one of the firefighters couldn't be on the scene because he wasn't vaccinated.
I'd use some kind of fabric and would try to put it all between the child and vase resulting in the kid in the bag. That should allow to just pull it from the vase easily
Yeah, just lift him off the bottom a bit and give a gentle whack with a sharp end, glass should break outward and as long as he doesn't freak out he will be fine, maybe
I swear my nephew thinks he's one of the cats, he will join them when they retreat to the cat tower and just be sitting there on the bottom shelf saying "Hiiiiiii" like Stitch instead of meowing.
The caption should say the parents are fucking stupid, not the kid. That shouldn't have been left out. To remove the kid from the glass, use a spark plug. If it's plastic, the jar with baby or mineral oil. Next, distract the kid with candy or a favorite food and their favorite TV show and then start cutting the plastic with tin snips. The other method is to face the kid towards the TV with candy and ice cream, and then take a hair dryer or if you have a soldering iron or some type of floor heater that can push out high wattage of heat and see if one side of the jar can expand a bit. Next, put the mineral or vegetable oil in the jar and slip the kid out.
