A student who fell with a noose around his neck during a mock class hanging that was arranged by teachers has enraged Australian authorities.
The high school student fell from a table while fellow students, under the supervision of a teacher, were photographing a staged hanging as part of an English class project.
Students and teachers rushed to the boy and cut the rope when he fell, Education Queensland Assistant Director-General Lyn McKenzie said, although local newspapers said the boy turned blue before he was freed.
The student was allowed to go home with his mother after being examined by paramedics, while authorities launched an investigation into how the incident occurred.

I'm glad they let him go home for the day. That was so thoughtful of them.

He's very lucky his neck didn't snap. Sounds like this could have been done in a much safer way.
