We understand that it is frustrating to lose a brand new smartphone that you just bought with sweat from your work. Still, nothing justifies going into a toilet to recover a device that has been flushed down and is probably already completely damaged. If young Chinese Chen Ho thought so, he would not have been for about six hours with his arm trapped in a toilet in a public toilet in Sichuan, China.

The boy was talking to his friend when he suddenly knocked over his brand new appliance in the toilet. Immediately he reached into the hole and tried to grab his device. Rescuing the smartphone seems to have been more difficult than he had anticipated and some time later he found himself arrested. Trying to break free, his arm became swollen and even more pinched.

Chen Ho spent six hours with his arm stuck in the toilet

To get Ho out of that situation, the fire department was called in and, after much work, they managed to remove the boy's arm from the toilet. Chen Ho told Mail Online that he forgot he had a cut in his hand that he stuck in the toilet. He was concerned that he might be infected with a disease afterwards.

There are no mention of the model of the device he tried to recover from the toilet, but is even one of these models worth all this effort and risk?
