Except that the witnesses were his friends on the balcony with him and who he was showing off to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F4UCorsair Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Booze impairs judgement, and diminishes one's ability to perform even basic tasks, and it appears he failed on all counts here. Such a waste that a little thought could have avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dageurreotype Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 This is just another young guy coming on holiday here and believing themselves to be immortal immediately upon exiting the Arrivals hall. Much like the 'never ridden a bike before but I'd try one out in this crazy little third world country' and the Red Flags' out 'But I'm I'm going for a swim anyway, I'm on 'oliday' crowd. Not the first and most certainly not the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomJoad Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I remember back in the 1970's the city of Fort Lauderdale, Florida had so many spring breakers falling (or jumping into swimming pools) from balconies, the hotels finally sealed them off completely so no one could use them. Eventually the city got tired of spring break altogether and chased the college kids out (which is when they started going to Cancun). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, http://www.rightdiagnosis.com/f/falls/deaths.htm claims, 41 deaths per day in the USA from jump/fall--set the ratio between farangs in Thailand and US population.

Not the first and most certainly not the last. True but however sad this case ( and all the others before it...and those yet to come), it's really only a tiny fraction that get into bother: most of them behave pretty responsibly, have a great time and live to tell the tale. We've all made poor choices at times but survived them. Sadly some don't survive their split second moment of madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecoolfrog Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Most of us did silly things when we were younger , especially after a few beers , luck rather than judgement saw us through. Tragic ending for this young man , condolences to his friends and family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is so typical here, people don't read and then have there own conclusions and roomers starts. Some people always have to turn it into negativity against Thais and Thailand. Sometimes I wonder why they are here in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
