A Florida Boy story instead of a Florida Man one:

US Boy Trapped in Florida Arcade Machine (goes to the BBC)

TL;DR version is a boy climbed in through the delivery slot of a skill crane machine to get a toy and became trapped inside the machine with the toys.

Firefighters eating at a restaurant near the machine pried the machine apart to release the boy.

I suppose they could have put fifty cents or whatever in the machine to see if they could use the crane to drop the boy in the prize slot… .

(Includes a photograph of the boy sitting in the machine, which as an adult he will never live down)
