A 20-stone woman had to be rescued by fire crews after becoming stuck on a Butlins water slide.

The mother-of-two was in a yellow rubber dinghy with another woman when the pair got trapped half-way down the Splash Waterworld slide.

Around 100 holidaymakers were evacuated from the ride during the two-hour rescue at the Minehead resort, in Somerset, The Sun reported.

 

The unnamed mother-of-two became trapped in a water slide at Butlins' Minehead resort (pictured), Somerset

 

The larger woman, who is in her 40s, was being helped off the inflatable by a lifeguard when she slipped and fell, suffering suspected spinal injuries.

Three fire engines and two ambulances were rushed to the scene and the slide was drained of water as the victim was strapped to a spinal board and hauled to the ground.

According to Butlins, a fault with the pump stopped the water flow on the slide, which has a weight restriction of 20-stone per dinghy.

A spokesman added that the trapped woman’s weight had been estimated at around 16-stone.

But a witness said: ‘Saying she is 16-stone is very generous. I would say she was around the weight restriction limit just by herself.

‘Chances of a sudden problem with the water were also pretty slim. The combined weight of the women was just too much.

‘At one point they thought they might have to dismantle the ride.’

Vandalised, as in hit by tanks ;)

If anything i could see to check seatbelts/talking on a cellphone... but checking to see if your taxes are up to date :inquisitive:

It's not taxes, it's car tax. Whether or not your car is road legal.

ah that's make sense

Oh wouldn't it be a shame if it broke

Woah it's now in a Daily mail Mark thread :surprised:

Wha? :surprised:

Dislike.

I Wonder How Mark feels about having all his Daily mail posts in one thread :lol:

It's about time this happened.

 

Really though, for someone who complains so much about spam to post absolutely any news story in this section of the forum is totally hypocritical, especially as half those Daily Mail threads don't get even 1 response (Look how many didn't in the first page alone).

This is brilliant.

YESSSSSSSSSS

 

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

I JIZZED EVERYWHERE INSIDE MY PANTIES WHEN I SAW THIS

I've been wishing for this.

Hahaha @ everyone's response.

 

No response from Mark? Like, at all? Why does he do that? We all know he probably reads every post on this forum, but he just ignores all this.

Did he seriously create this thread?

Nope, a mod merged a few of his daily mail article threads.

Kudos to whomever merged the treads. :lol:

BUMP

 

Serious BUMP.

 

Bunch of crap for someone to merge on the forum right now.

This unassuming house in a sleepy part of Swansea is set to become a global internet sensation... for bearing a passing resemblance to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

Its neat brown door brings to mind the fascist dictator's trademark toothbrush moustache.

And the slanting tiled roof falls at a similar angle to the leader's greased down, parted hairstyle.

 

 

Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Bathroom? The Swansea semi which, in a curious way, looks like the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler

 

 

 

Seeing double? Adolf Hitler pictured in 1934 and the Swansea house

 

 

Eagle-eyed tweeter Charli Dickenson spotted the curious similarity and posted the photos on her Twitter page where they have become a big hit.

 

Comedian Jimmy Carr re-Tweeted the image later as interest gathered on the micro-blog site.

Carr wrote: 'Morning, here's a house that looks like Hitler.'

 

It was sent on by hundreds of his followers and became a trending topic on Twitter.

 

 

Adolf Hitler's actual family home, an unassuming house in the Austrian town of Braunau, was put on the market in 2009 priced at around £2million.

By comparison the two-bedroomed Swansea look-a-like would likely go on the market at around the £70,000 mark.
