Two teen girls cut free from shopping trolley after TikTok stunt goes wrong

Two teenagers had to be cut out of a shopping trolley after a stunt went horribly wrong.

Danielle Harmer was playing in a supermarket car park and she and her friend got into a trolley for fun and both faced each other.

But when they pair tried to get out, they couldn't and both realised they had become trapped inside the wheeled steel buggy at the Kmart parking area.

She filmed her experience and posted it on social media site TikTok.

The video, which was captioned “Never want to see a trolley again in my life”, gave an insight into the girls' experience.

Danielle called Aussie emergency number Triple-0 and the fire department responded and attended the scene to free the pair.

A SA Metro Fire Department spokeswoman told Yahoo News Australia four firefighters were called in about 10.30pm.

The four rescuers, wearing bright yellow florescent overalls, initially wondered how they would free the girls are seen trying to work out how to get them out.

Their initial efforts were in vain and the eventually had to use power tools to allow the girls to escape their trolley prison.

They were both handed safety goggles while the four-strong crew used an angle grinder to cut them out.

Holding on to each other, the teenagers braved the sparks which sprayed around them as the fire crew sawed through the back panel of the trolley.

A spokeswoman for the fire service said freeing the girls took around 10-15 minutes and no ambulance was required.

Danielle told 7News.com.au firefighters at didn’t believe her at first when she rang about her ordeal after becoming trapped at Munno Para Shopping City, Adelaide.

“They thought it was a joke. They were like, ‘are you sure?’” she told the site.

Danielle asked her friend, who was also stuck in the trolley, to stand up so they could both escape their trolley nightmare.

But her friend said she couldn't move as her legs were trapped which resulted in a call to the fire service.

The girls were being spun around in the small trolley before the realised they were trapped and had to make the embarrasing call to the fire service.

Viewers on TikTok at least found the video amusing.

“I’m dying,” one woman wrote.
