A Birmingham radio station is prosecuted over a contest that allegedly left three members of the public in hospital with severe frostbite, scarring and loss of skin down there.

"BRMB held a contest during which contestants sat on "dry ice", frozen carbon dioxide, a substance with a temperature of -78C. Four people were treated for severe frostbite, with three of them requiring prolonged stays in hospital, it is alleged as a direct result of the Coolest Seats in Town competition."
