Funny video shows moment woman is sent tumbling out of hammock

Funny video shows the moment a woman was sent tumbling out of a hammock.

Bartender Rebecca Potts, 29, was trying to relax while on a camping holiday in Stampley Moss Farm in Gateshead.

But as she got into a hammock to relax one of the tree branches it was attached to gave way - sending her to the floor.

Friends Gemma Murdoch and Natalie Hornby witnessed the plunge.

Gemma, who took the video, said: "Rebecca was trying to sit in the hammock when she started questioning whether it was safe for her to lie down.

"That's when Natalie went over to reassure her she could - showing her the branch was strong - until the branch snapped.

"We literally couldn't stop laughing."
