Firefighters Rescue Woman Trapped in Burbank Chuck E. Cheese Game

A woman became trapped inside the "Snow Day!" arcade game at a Chuck E. Cheese in Burbank, California, after she inserted her arm into a hole not intended for body parts while apparently trying to cheat the game. Firefighters from the Burbank Fire Department responded and freed her after nearly an hour, with the woman remaining calm and uninjured throughout the rescue. The game is designed for young children and involves stepping into a clear capsule to collect soft foam balls, emphasizing that arms should not be inserted into scoring holes. Chuck E. Cheese confirmed the game poses no risk to players and stated the woman continued to enjoy her evening with family following the incident. The unusual rescue attracted attention from onlookers, mostly children, and became a viral story highlighting the unexpected challenges adults can face when interacting with children’s arcade games. This event follows a recent unrelated incident at Chuck E. Cheese involving a mascot arrested on credit card theft charges.
