Five firefighters spent an hour working to release a YouTube prankster who cemented his head inside a microwave.
Jay Swingler, 22, and a group of friends mixed seven bags of Polyfilla before they poured it around his head, which was protected by a plastic bag inside the appliance, the Daily Mail reported.
The video of the incident unfolding was posted to YouTube entitled "I cemented my head in a microwave and emergency services came... (nearly died)" and has been viewed almost 500,000 times. Swingler has more than 3 million followers on his YouTube channel TGFbro.

Swingler and his friends wanted to use the microwave as a mould, and by the time emergency services were at 1.49pm on Wednesday (UK time) to the garage of a house in Fordhouses, Wolverhampton, the group had already been trying to free him for 90 minutes.
