Wear only underpants.

Australian man survives nine-storey fall in his underwear
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS





 

PERTH, Australia - A 35-year-old man wearing only his underpants survived a 30-metre fall from his ninth-floor apartment after trying to walk to a neighbour's balcony while balancing on a plank, police said Tuesday.

A garden gazebo broke the man's fall, and he was taken to a hospital in serious condition. Ros Weatherall, a spokeswoman for Western Australia state police, said rescue workers found the man, who was not immediately identified, wearing only his underpants.

"He was skylarking around, building planks across to his neighbour's place, when it happened," she said. "He was very lucky."

Crap I never wear underpants;






Either that, or aim for the gazebo.

No one can help you. You must face the Gazebo alone.



What a Sand Groper :P

wow. Funny stories involving injuries.

I dunno if any of the UK posters watch QI with Stephen Fry, but i remember him telling a story about a man who was mowing his lawn wearing only sandals on his feet, and he caught his toe in the blades and it cut off his toe...hting is the blades flicked the toe in the air and hit him in the eye (dunno if it blinded him)
