Dad poops himself in Lunar Park plane ride with child

A middle-aged Beitbridge man who had accompanied his child who was afraid to go on the revolving Lunar Park miniature planes alone became so shaken himself that his bowels loosened and he defecated in his trousers.

The incident occurred last Monday.

Efforts to get the name of the man were fruitless but sources said he left his stool on the machine as he quickly sneaked in a taxi and disappeared.

The man is reported to have taken the taxi to an unknown destination but obviously to refresh
