Gravity, why does it hate us?
GRAZ, Austria (AP) - Thinking he was Superman and could fly, a drunk man leapt from a fourth-floor window early Tuesday and suffered head and back injuries, authorities said. Paramedics rushed the 23-year-old man to a hospital in the city of Graz, about 120 miles south of Vienna, after he jumped from the window. Police said the man - who apparently had drunk several bottles of red wine before attempting the jump - appeared at the window ledge at around 4 a.m. and shouted: "I am Superman! Nothing can happen to me!"
"Up, up, and away...........ah shit..SPLAT!" | The jumper, whose name was not released, landed on part of a lower section and roof, sparing him from more serious injuries, authorities said. Kids, don't try this at home. |
