As the barrier rises he goes with it, lifted up by his neck
AN unlucky schoolboy is lifted in the air by the neck after getting his head stuck in a rising car park barrier.
The lad and his pal are seen on CCTV ducking through the gate just before a car arrives and the boom arm begins to rise.
One boy squeezes through just in time but the other is trapped and gets lifted off his feet.
He ends up dangling above the ground with his neck wedged in a section of the scissor-like structure.
A photo taken by a passerby shows the pained expression on his face as he awkwardly props himself up on the gate post with his foot while waiting for help.
Security guards were finally able to lower the barrier and free him from his predicament.
He was not injured, but took a knock to his pride when the video and images went viral on social media in China.
The two boys were taking a short cut through the car park on their way home from school in Guangzhou City.
Car park managers said they have tried to discourage people from going through or over the boom barrier to avoid similar accidents.
Yesterday astonishing video showed a worker engulfed in flames after he ran back into a burning factory to get his phone.
