Idiot survives 17-story fall
2007-01-21
A 29-year-old man who was apparently horsing around with some friends crashed through a window and fell 16 stories at the downtown Minneapolis Hyatt Regency early Saturday morning.
Ouch! thats gonna leave a baaad mark!
His most severe injury? A broken leg.
musta landed on his head then!
The man must have "an angel on his shoulder or something," said Minneapolis police Lt. Dale Barsness. "He's a lucky guy."
Lucky? Pure Dumb Luck! lol this is way too much fun!
A resident of Blair, Wis., Hanson had come to Minneapolis with several friends to take part in a dart tournament at the hotel this weekend. According to the police report, Hanson and two other friends had been in St. Paul drinking at bars before they came back to the Hyatt Saturday about 1:30 a.m. in a taxi.
ahhh.. Dart fans in Bars all over the world recognize a dart tournament tactic when they see one, the ole brilliant tactic of 'pulling a header off of 17 stories' flummoxes the competition everytime!
They might have been horsing around as an elevator brought them to the 17th floor where they were staying, Barsness said. For some reason, Hanson ran out of the elevator and took off down a short hallway of rooms toward a floor-to-ceiling window, he said. He then apparently lost his balance and crashed through the glass, he said.
