It’s all fun and games until your head gets stuck inside a Barney head.
That’s exactly what happened to 15-year-old Darby Risner of Trussville, Alabama, when the teen tried on a giant Barney head found in a friend’s house.
Darby told ABC News that she tried to scare her friends with the Barney head when they came downstairs until the head wouldn’t come off. Darby describes sitting down and feeling the head lower down onto her, literally giving her “short little Barney arms.”
“All the girls started trying to pull it off, but it wasn’t budging,” Risner said. “I started getting a little claustrophobic and felt like it was kind of closing in.”
At one point, her friends rubbed vaseline over her arms, but the Barney head still wouldn’t come off.
One of the friends called her boyfriend at the Trussville Fire Department, but since her mom didn’t want to alarm the whole neighborhood, she drove her daughter to the fire station instead.
“Soon enough, we saw a group of young girls waddling with one who had a Barney head stuck on her,” said Trussville Fire Department Lt. Vince Bruno.
Bruno told ABC News he had never seen anything like this in his 33-year career at the fire department.
He explained that he and a few other firefighters tried to pull off the head, but it wasn’t budging. So they made a few release cuts in the head made of fiberglass, and they were then able to slide it right off.
Darby’s mom, Audrey Shannon only learned about her daughter’s adventure a few days ago, saying, “When my girlfriend told me, ‘So did you hear about Darby’s little adventure?’ I was a little worried at first,” Shannon said. “But then when I found out it was all about the Barney head, I laughed so hard. All the mascara ran off my face.”
