Default Man Trapped by Machinery Dials Help With Toe

Even with his arms stuckin a piece of machinery, a northwest Florida man was able to dial 911 using his big toe. Police said an unidentified man was at the DRS Technologies building early Thursday morning when he became trapped in a presslike machine that resembles an elevator. The employee was alone so he shook his cellphone off his belt, kicked off one shoe and used his toe to dial 911. Rescuers use a thick metal bar to pry the machinery off his arms.

I was afraid of how THAT story was going to end! Hooray for the big toe!

That's what you call "thinking on your feet".
That little piggy called 911.
