Number 9 Daniel Collazo On December the 16th of 2011,
a temporary worker at the tribe Mediterranean Foods hummus factory in Taunton, Massachusetts,
died after he got caught in a piece of industrial equipment. 28-year-old Daniel
Collazo was part of the evening cleaning crew and performing maintenance on a bean-mashing machine.
Collazo’s arms got stuck inside the masher when its nine-inch rotating blades started turning.
He kept being pulled into the machine which also crushed part of his head, inflicting devastating
injuries. The emergency services were called to the scene, at around 1 am, and Collazo passed
away in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. The plant’s parent company was fined over half
a million dollars by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration in connection to the
incident for not properly training its cleaning workers on lock out/tag out procedures. It also
emerged that the owner had been fully aware of the "extreme safety risk". Federal officials had fined
them for failing to follow the safety protocol at another of their New England food processing
plants just two years prior. Records indicated that, at the time, investigators had reported
"the probability that a fatality could occur is likely certain within a year's timeframe."

An incident at a bus stop in Huangpu, Hankou city,
in China’s Hubei Province, caused outrage on the country’s internal social media platforms,
in 2018. An unnamed woman, only reported as being in her 20s, had tripped over her luggage after
getting off the bus on February the 17th. She fell and landed with her neck between two metal bars,
only about a palm’s width apart, on a U-shaped metal fence commonly found throughout the
country. She got stuck and the bars cut off the oxygen supply to her brain. City
police and paramedics arrived about 16 minutes after the incident and the woman was pronounced
dead at the scene. It typically only takes about five to ten minutes without oxygen for
brain death to occur. Once photos of the woman’s lifeless body began circulating on social media,
many users were furious that officials hadn’t addressed the reoccurring problem associated
with the fence model. In 2013, a woman had died in Beijing in similar fashion.
The 26-year-old had been left with her head suspended between the railing for roughly half
an hour, in broad daylight, before anyone tried to help. Surveillance footage showed bystanders
gathering around to look at her and take photos without attempting to intervene. A pensioner
also died on a similarly-shaped Beijing fence, in 2015, followed by a pregnant woman in 2016.
Number 7 Amari Dancy A game of hide and seek at a home in
Woodbridge, Virginia, ended in the intervention of the local fire department, in April of 2020,
after a young woman became trapped in an appliance. 18-year-old Amari Dancy had
been playing the game with her younger cousins and tried to hide in a top loader washing machine. The
teenager quickly realized that she was stuck and cried out for help to her cousins who, in turn,
alerted older relatives present in the home. Dancy’s aunt documented the events that followed
and posted the content to Instagram as she’d deemed it a cautionary tale for others looking to
stave off boredom during the pandemic lockdown. Shortly after 11 pm, over half a dozen members
of the Prince William County Department of Fire and Rescue arrived at the home. Four firefighters
were able to remove the top of the appliance and create enough space for Dancy to be pulled out.
The teenager whimpered with discomfort as she was lifted from the washer but was otherwise unharmed.
Number 6 Virginia López Severiano and Bibiana Arellano Delabra
In the spring of 2022, an accident at the Azteca Market in Selma, North Carolina, resulted in the
death of a 44-year-old worker. Virginia López Severiano was cleaning an industrial food mixer
at the bread factory when half of her body got trapped in the machine. It was reported
that the piece of equipment was still on when the woman had begun the maintenance work. The
Selma Fire Department was alerted and a tedious rescue effort unfolded over the course of nearly
90 minutes. Firefighters used small tools to take the machine apart and free López Severiano.
She was airlifted to Duke University Hospital where she succumbed to her injuries overnight.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration launched an investigation into the death which was
the second to occur at a North Carolina bread factory within the span of a month. Bibiana
Arellano Delabra, aged 22, had also been operating an industrial mixer, at a Northeast Foods factory,
in Clayton. She was fatally crushed by the machine but, like with López Severiano’s case,
the particularities of the accident weren’t disclosed pending the official inquiry.
Number 5 Ukrainian Man In the summer of 2021,
the photo of a Ukrainian man stuck in a half-open window earned considerable attention online.
The man had reportedly been spending time at his ex-girlfriend’s home where,
at some point, he’d begun pressuring her into having intimate relations. The woman refused and
an argument ensued. She asked her former partner to leave the area but the man, reported as being
drunk at the time, wouldn’t relent in his pursuit. He later tried to gain access to
his ex’s home through a half-open window with the reported intention of begging her for intercourse.
He got stuck sideways in the process, with his lower half sticking out of the home. It wasn’t
clear how long he remained trapped, with some sources reporting it had been for several hours,
before the woman discovered him in the window and called the police. The emergency services
rushed the man to the hospital after they’d found him unconscious and on the verge of suffocation.
Number 4 Rosie Cole British student Rosie
Cole was drinking with her housemates at their accommodation in Beresford Avenue, North Hull,
in the fall of 2020. After they’d indulged in several bottles of wine and honey tequila,
21-year-old Cole was dared to get inside the dryer. The inebriated young woman thought
there was “no chance” she’d fit but nevertheless decided to attempt the impromptu contortion act.
Cole got in feet-first, wiggled her hips inside and was, by her own admission, surprised with how
easily it went. However, as her legs got crossed behind her, the young woman’s lower half got stuck
inside the machine. Laughter initially filled the room in the video-recorded incident. The mood
slightly began to shift once Cole’s housemates realized that she couldn’t get out and the dryer
tilted forward whenever they tried to force the extraction. Cole’s arms eventually got tired
and she was no longer able to support her weight, which left her face-down on the floor and with her
backside in the air. The fire brigade was called and Cole would later explain the decision as
“they save cats from trees so maybe they could save students from tumble dryers”. One of her
housemates was awoken by the sound of sirens and rushed downstairs thinking the house had caught
fire. The young woman would later describe the scene she’d stumbled upon as the funniest thing
she’d ever seen and immediately started filming as three firefighters worked to remove Cole from
the dryer. The men, described by the embarrassed student as “lovely” in their interaction with her,
were ultimately successful in the rescue effort and, before leaving, jokingly opened the washing
machine asking if anyone else needed saving. Number 3 Jorge Herrera
Around Christmas time, in 2016, California teen Jorge Herrera snuck out of his home in
the Stockton area, against the curfew imposed by his parents. To avoid being scolded by them,
the 18-year-old then tried to get back inside the living room, where he usually slept,
through the chimney. Herrera got in feet-first but then got stuck at chest level. As later reported
by the Stockton Battalion Fire Department Chief, the teenager likely spent the entire night halfway
inside the chimney. When firefighters were eventually called to the home, they spotted
Herrera’s legs dangling out into the living room. Rescuers removed a considerable amount of bricks
from the chimney and poured soapy water down the chute to help the teen’s body get loose.
They then used ladders and a harness to hoist him out. Herrera was reported as being embarrassed by
the incident but otherwise unharmed. Number 2 Casey Munchow
On May the 11th of 2022, a body was found in a car submerged in floodwaters near Mackay,
in Australia’s Queensland state. The victim, subsequently identified as 31-year-old Casey
Munchow, was still strapped into her seat upon being discovered by local authorities.
It later emerged that the woman, who ran a successful wedding photography business
in the area, had been traveling with two other people on Surprise Creek Road in Mount Ossa.
When the vehicle was swept by floodwaters, the passengers, only identified as a 50-year-old
Mount Charlton man and a 30-year-old Mount Pelion woman, were able to get out. Munchow, however,
became stuck in her seat. Her vehicle was still visible from the road but it got covered in water
by the time rescuers arrived in the area. Munchow was survived by her husband and three children.
Number 1 Sydney Jo 27-year-old Sydney Jo, from Ann Arbor, Michigan,
documented a mishap with a metal folding chair on TikTok, in the summer of 2021. Jo had gotten
stuck in the chair and begun panicking after trying “absolutely everything” to get out.
One of the clips showed her standing with her waist trapped between the seat of the chair and
the bars attached to the legs, akin to a medieval torture device. Others on the platform offered
potential solutions. One of them was for the woman to unscrew the chair while another proposed
she get out the same way she’d gotten into it. When nothing worked, Jo called the fire
department and documented the rescue effort in a video that subsequently gained millions of views.
Firefighters initially tried to use bolt cutters but then brought in a hydraulic cutter
that’s typically used to free car crash victims. Jo, who lived on a college campus,
was successfully released from the chair and told her rescuers that she’d gotten trapped as part
of a school project in lieu of the ironic truth, which she subsequently revealed on social media.
Jo was a “stuck fetish” content creator in which her followers would pay a fee to watch her get
trapped in some way and, in the young woman’s words, “actually struggle to get out, like
not fake it at all”. Jo claimed to usually create situations which she knew offered the possibility
of escaping and that the chair predicament had been the first time she was actually stuck. Jo
described the incident as “really scary” but also as probably the best stuck video she’d ever made.
