The downside of unassisted human flight, or aerial yoga goes badly in Nuevo Leon
2019-08-28
[Breitbart] A young woman has survived after reportedly falling 80 feet from her apartment balcony in the northeastern Mexican state of Nuevo Leon on Saturday.

College student Alexa Terrazas, 23, was practicing an extreme yoga pose while hanging over the edge of her sixth-floor apartment balcony when she fell and landed on the building’s driveway below.

A viral photo reportedly taken moments before her fall shows Terrazas hanging precariously upside down over the edge of the glass wall. Reports said she lost her balance before falling to the ground.

On Monday, Terrazas was listed in critical condition and suffered from fractures in her legs, arms, hips, and head. Doctors said she will remain in a coma for at least two weeks.

Friends and family members have asked the public for donations to help the young woman recover.

"She doesn’t need any more blood, but she does need platelets," a message on the blooders.org website said. "It’s a painful and sad life lesson," another message read.

Reports said doctors at the hospital in Nuevo Leon spent 11 hours doing reconstructive surgery on Terrazas following the tragic accident.

#7  She might have been really injured if she hadn't landed on her head.

#6  My faith in people took a real ding this summer when I would watch people get onto lichen covered boulders with loose gravel downwind of a waterfall and make silly poses, where a fall would mean the body would be found after it plugged a golf course sprinkler in Kansas.

Not that part. The part where the picture was framed not to include the peril of the pose, but because there was a break in the trees and a mountainous background could be included. Chit, that could be done off the side of the parking lot.

#5  Good career move.

Look for the lass to make herself into a victim, then an Instagram & Twitter sensation, then score a book contract, then become an SJW crusader against the evil patriarchy, exploitative LuluLemonLeeches-Against-Helpless-Womyn etc etc.

#4  This is what comes of following trends without knowing jack about the real thing. There's no such thing as hanging from ledges and balancing on beams in yoga. And it's the last thing for showing off.

It's like 'I'm going to practice my kata with my hands on fire ! Call it the burning fist !' For no reason.
