Hollie Ellis, aged 12, was hanging out with her mates on Tuesday evening at the park in Hollybush near the White Hut when she got in a bit of a pickle.
She got trapped after putting her legs inside one of the children’s swings.
After 30 minutes of trying to get out her friends called South Wales Fire and Rescue Service and firefighters soon arrived to help. Her friend shot this video above of them unscrewing the swing to release her. Click on the image for it to play.
Her mum, Michelle, said: “I think mishaps follow her around. She’s always getting into situations. She said thankfully the firefighters were really nice about the whole thing.”
This was a tweet on Wednesday morning by Jennie Griffiths from the fire service.
