Firefighters free two men from pool table

Czech firefighters had a very extraordinary task when they received a call that two men got their hands stuck in a pool table in a Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad) bar, their regional spokesman Frantisek Petr said.

The two players put their hands in the table's holes when they were trying to find a lost ball. To free the men, the firefighters had to take the table apart.

"It is absolutely unclear how the men could get stuck," Petr said. "We have never before come across a similar situation", he added.

At first, the situation in the bar seemed rather funny, but when the men were unable to free their hands for some time, they started to panic.
