The third-year pupil, of Uddingston, said: 'I was with my friends and we thought it would be funny if we could wrap the swing around the bar and try and fit in. 'I managed it but then when I tried to climb back out I couldn't move. I was literally stuck there for an hour and my legs were numb. 'At one point I was standing on my friend's head but I still couldn't pull myself out. We eventually had to call for the fire brigade to help and they tipped me backwards. I was really embarrassed, but it is quite funny. 'I've learned my lesson and I will not be doing it again.' Call for help: The girl hangs from the swing as the fire brigade park their engine and walk to the swings Checking the situation: The fire officers speak to the girl before they grabbed the chair and started flipping her over She was stranded in mid-air until four firefighters turned her upside down and slid her out of the plastic seat as her pals filmed her ordeal.

Oops: Lauren Lucas who had to be rescued after she got stuck in a child's swing Lauren's mum Marion Lucas, 36, said: 'Lauren called me on Monday night and told me she had just been rescued by firefighters. 'She told me she had got herself stuck in a swing and couldn't get out. 'I was angry that she never called me, but she later said she didn't want to get in trouble. 'I wasn't happy that the fire service were called out to something like this, but I'm glad nothing happened and she's ok. 'She's been warned never to do that again.' One onlooker said: 'I was driving past the park and saw a crowd of people gathered round the swings. Then I noticed the fire brigade had parked near the park. I then saw someone stuck in the swing and I realised that's what all the fuss was. The crowd of people were cheering and shouting as the firefighters got the girl out. 'It was pretty bizarre and a bit embarrassing for the youngster but she didn't seem any worse off for her ordeal.' Jim Cunningham, 63, who saw the teenager stuck said: 'It was about 7pm and I was walking my dog past the park. I saw a group of five or six teenagers laughing at a young girl who appeared to be stuck in one of the baby swings. Her friends had hoisted her up so she was a couple of feet from the ground and it looked like she was struggling to get down. A cashier at a local shop that overlooks the park said: 'I saw the fire engine appear but it was only there for a couple of minutes. 'I didn't realise that they were helping someone who was stuck in the swing.' A Scottish Fire and Rescue Services spokeswoman said: 'An appliance attended at Crofthead Park, Main Street in Uddingston after reports of a female stuck on a swing. She was removed by fire personnel who attended for less than five minutes.
