A 38-year old Australian man had to be rescued after becoming stuck inside a washing machine while playing with his kids.

The Daily Telegraph reports Robin Toom had to be pulled from the machine by local fire officers after becoming trapped during a game of hide-and-seek.

Toom says, "I just hopped in there and couldn't even get the lid down and the kids came in and said, 'Ha, ha! We found you.'"

He had to wait one hour with his knees pressed against his chest before firemen arrived to set him free.
