We’ve all been there, right?

We’re attending a country music festival. We’ve had our share of alcohol beverages. And we see a pickup truck.

The pickup truck, naturally, has an exhaust pipe coming out of its rear.

And we think to ourselves… hey, I think my head could fit safely into that exhaust pipe and then I could pull it back out with ease!

No? We haven’t all been there?

Only Kaitlin Strom, the woman featured in the following video has been there?

That’s sort of what we figured.

In a Facebook video that has been viewed nearly three million times, this 19-year old is sitting on the ground at the Winstock Music Festival with her head inside of an oversized diesel exhaust pipe.

The brief snippet below features emergency crews preparing to use a power saw to cut her free.

How did she end up in this situation?

"We were just all having fun and I saw this big exhaust pipe and I was like, ‘Hey, my head could probably fit in that, so I tried it. It did fit, but it didn’t want to come back out,” Strom explained to the Hutchinson Leader.

Strom went on to say she was trapped in this pipe for about 45 minutes, which seems like an extremely long time to have one’s head trapped inside of an exhaust pipe.

The teenager simply tried to remain calm before the fire department was able to finally get her out.

That was the good news… the bad news is that she was cited by the police department for underage drinking.

How much did she imbibe? Strom would not say.

But she did clearly take a bit of pride in her viral act, based on the Facebook photo and caption above.

As for what it looks like when a grown woman gets her head stuck in an exhaust pipe?
