His best friend, who went by the name Dzhenan, 22, was on hand to take photos of his mate, who earned the nickname King Kong.

Dzoskun said: "I simply wanted to get up high. Through the metal chains of the hoop I managed to climb up with the help of my friend. But suddenly I got stuck. To be honest I was terrified I would fall down.

"I was up there for half an hour. Thankfully the firefighters helped me. I was worried the hoop might break and I could have ended up badly injuring myself.

Emergency services were called in the late afternoon to the scene in Groepelingen, near Bremen,  northern Germany.

They eventually got the teenager down with the help of a ladder.

Fire brigade spokesman Michael Richartz said people should be more careful when considering foolhardy stunts.

He said: "Such climbs can be very dangerous. He could have plunged down head-first when he got stuck with his foot."
