Overweight woman stuck in South African cave

Tue Jan 2, 6:54 AM ET

CAPE TOWN (AFP) - An overweight woman got stuck in a well-known South African cave for nearly twelve hours on New Year's Day, trapping 23 others in the process.

The woman was stuck inside the "Tunnel of Love" shortly after noon and was freed with the help of liquid paraffin and a pulley around 11:30 pm (2130 GMT), said Hein Gerstner, manager of the Cango Caves in the Western Cape.

"She was really quite a large woman," he told AFP Tuesday. "She was forewarned at the ticket office and by the guide that she might have difficulty on the tour, but she insisted on going along."

Rescuers from two nearby towns and a private ambulance service were called in to help.

"We used liquid paraffin to grease the surface area and used a pulley to lift her," said Gerstner. "She was eventually carried out on a stretcher."

Twenty-three other people trapped in another tunnel behind the woman were given blankets, water, chocolate bars and ablution buckets during the rescue effort.

The group included two asthmatic children and a diabetic for whom insulin had to be brought from a nearby town, said Gerstner.

Once freed, the woman was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, and was due to be discharged on Tuesday afternoon. None of the others came to any harm.

"We regularly have people getting stuck in the caves for an hour or so, but never anything on this scale," said Gerstner. "This was a freak. None of our guides, some of whom have been here for more than 40 years, have ever seen anything like it."

How the hell do you get your stupid ass stuck in a cave? I would think that at some point, it would hurt to try to go any further, thus preventing you from getting 'stuck'. Thank God all the caves I have ever been to have been big enough for my fat ass to get through If they weren't though, I wouldnt keep pushin til I couldn't push no more

maybe the opening in question was located at the bottom of a downhill section.
Pillsbury dough girl gets up a head of steam, running over those in front of her and is not able to stop before becoming wedged in the too small opening.

or, maybe the dunkin donuts just down the way from the caves had just taken out a tray of fresh boston creams and the smell drifted into the cave causing her to lose her sense of reason and in a moment of thrill she thought that she could fly her size 70 waist through the size 10 hole and aquire the donuts before anyone else could get to them.

I could see it happening had she tripped and rolled or something but there is no mention of an "accident" aside from her accidentally getting her huge ass stuck in a cave Leave it to you to come up with the best scenarios though

PS-REAL fat people know that Dunkin Donuts sucks
