Cattle Grid signCyclist's arm stuck in cattle grid for 90 minutes after fall from bike
Warwickshire Fire & Rescue Service came to the rescue of a cyclist on Friday evening after he fell off his bike and his arm became trapped in a cattle grid.
Firefighters were called to the scene by paramedics treating the man at the incident on a cycle path off Cryfield Grange Road, Stoneleigh, near Kenilworth.
It took an hour and a half for them to cut the man free, after which he was taken to hospital.
West Midlands Ambulance Service paramedic Ian Inglesant tweeted that the cyclist, who has not been named, had sustained “an arm injury and slight facial injury.”

if everyone had a helmet strapped to both arms it would stop them going through the bars of a cattle grid - well, if it saves one life...
Cattle grids were probably invented by cattle...to police themselves.
90 minutes? What would you do for 90 minutes? Minute 1 - drag finger nails down scrotum to get off chamois cream to rub on trapped arm. Minute 2 - phone significant other. Minutes 3 -88 - ??
Cry.
When the ambulance turned up, get them to do it
I wonder if he was wearing a halloween costume? Hopefully not a Superman or zombie one?
