Russian man survives five storey fall - twice
A Russian man survived after downing three bottles of vodka and leaping from a fifth floor balcony - twice.
Alexei Roskov says he jumped the second time because he couldn't take his wife's nagging about the first time.
Wife Yekaterina had watched in horror as her drunken hubsand opened the kitchen window of their Moscow apartment, and hurled himself out.
Astonishingly Mr Roskov, 22, survived and managed to stagger back upstairs with barely a scratch after the 50ft fall.
But while his wife called for an ambulance and began to scold him, he jumped again.
Amazed medics treated Mr Roskov for minor cuts and bruises before releasing him.
Mr Roskov says he is now teetotal after giving up drinking, and added: "Now I can say just one thing - I was very lucky.
"I have no idea why I jumped the first time but when I came back up and I heard my wife screaming angrily at me I thought it was best if I left the room again - out of the window."
He was saved twice.. So, the Lord must really love him..
Did god save him tho? ;)

what keith said - same with people asleep when a car crashes the tensing up. I though they said the fall is not always the problem its when you bounce and every broken gets jiggled about. Like when parachuters whose chute not opened have landed in bogs.

The Polish claim to have invented the Vodka spirit which can be up to 70% to 80% in volume per alcohol.

Ive heard it said that drunks rarely injure themselves severely when they fall down , probably because they are so relaxed from the effects of the booze before they tumble,,,,,but 5 floors and TWICE, Im convinced of the theory now.
...truck full of laundry down there...:)
Life is Beautiful...Indeed!
i would have taken the bottle with me
