A man died after lodging his head in the footrest of his electronic seat at a movie theater in Birmingham, U.K.

 

The accident occurred March 9 at a Vue cinema complex at the Star City entertainment complex. Vue Intl. announced the mans death a week later, on March 16.

 

According to the Birmingham Mail, the man had dropped his phone and was trying to retrieve it in between the theaters Gold Class seats at the end of the film. The three Gold Class rooms at the complex offer a fully licensed bar, and are only available to attendees over 18.

 

After he bent down, the reclining, electric seats footrest clamped down on the mans head. He was attending the film with his partner, who reportedly became frantic as the man started to panic upon realizing he was stuck. Staff and other patrons at the cinema struggled to free him, but eventually broke him out of the entrapment.

 

The man suffered cardiac arrest. After paramedics successfully restarted his heart, he was rushed to Heartlands Hospital, the West Midlands Ambulance Service confirmed to the Guardian.

 

Vue Intl. said in a statement: Following an incident which took place on Friday 9 March at our Birmingham cinema, we can confirm that a customer was taken to hospital that evening. We are saddened to learn that he passed away on Friday 16 March.

 

The statement continues: A full investigation into the nature of the incident is ongoing. Our thoughts and condolences are with the family who have our full support and assistance.

 

The Birmingham City Council has started a health and safety investigation, reports the Guardian.

I think you nailed this one.

Reminds me of when we had little ones in the family. We take him to movies and the littlest Feller was too little to keep the seat way down. It would fold up on him like an accordion and his ankles be some around his ear lobes. LOL as I type this.
