30 Embarrassing Adults Who Got Stuck In The Playground

“Play,” according to Albert Einstein, “is the highest form of research.” Well actually, not only is play an important aspect of child development but it is equally an essential element for surviving adult life. According to experts, play can help adults decrease stress levels, improve brain function, boost creativity and productivity, and even improve relationships, among many others.

That said, we’re sure the adults pictured in the examples below didn’t have the slightest idea that the time they devoted for play would actually end up being such a disaster. In fact, we believe they would likely point to this experience whenever they get asked to share their most embarrassing moment.

Besides, who could forget getting stuck in a baby swing – in public! So firemen had to be called on the scene to free them from all the awkwardness.
