A man in Guangzhou, China, got stuck while trying a viral "zip tie escape challenge" at home. He tied himself up very tightly and could not get free, so he shouted for help.
A delivery man passing by heard him and called the police. Firefighters came, broke open the door, and found the man lying on a bed, fully tied up.
He had wrapped himself in a blanket, covered himself with a fishing net, and used many zip ties from his neck down to his ankles. Two zip ties were even around his neck, which made the situation very dangerous.
A firefighter said the man had tied himself up as part of an online challenge where people try to escape after being restrained. Some people online have copied this trend, but many failed and got stuck.
In this case, the man was lucky to be rescued in time. Firefighters said he could have died, especially because of the zip ties around his neck.
The story became popular online, and many people were shocked and curious about how he managed to tie himself like that. Others said he should learn from this mistake.
The incident also reminded people that some viral internet challenges can be dangerous. Similar challenges have included people trapping themselves in small spaces or doing risky things just for attention.
