A BUNGLING grave-digger had to be rescued by firefighters when he stood back to admire his handywork - and fell straight down the six-foot deep hole he'd just dug.
Stefan Faerber, 55 - from Deutschlandsberg, Austria - managed to dial 999 from the bottom of the grave despite and injured back and fractured skull.
"He said he had just stepped back to look at the sides when the ground disappeared underneath him and he fell straight into the hole. He was in a lot of pain and couldn't climb out," said one firefighter.
A police spokesman confirmed: "It was his last job of the day so he's lucky he had his phone with him to call for help - or he might have spent a very uncomfortable night next to some of his previous customers." (orange.co.uk)
