Choi Gap-bok managed to slide through the tiny food slot at the bottom of the jail cell door. Yes, the tiny rectangular slot!

Most of these slots measure 6 inches tall and about 17 inches wide. To make matters even crazier, Choi was 50 years old when he escaped. He was in and out of jail in South Korea for the majority of his life where he picked up yoga. He had asked guards for skin ointment which he used to oil himself up enough to get out. The stunt has since been recreated, and it works if you are on the smaller side as Choi himself was 5’4”. Choi claimed he wanted to escape to prove his innocence and was caught six days later.
