Man flashes housekeeper, plunges to death while leaping hotel balconies in Atlanta

ATLANTA – Police say a man flashed a housekeeper at an Atlanta hotel and died trying to escape security by leaping between balconies.

Atlanta police Investigator James White tells reporters that the man died at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta hotel early Monday.

White says the housekeeper reported the man to security and as the man fled he attempted to jump from a balcony at least 10 stories high to one nearby.

White says the man missed the balcony and fell to his death. White says the man’s death is believed to be accidental.

...Spider-man crashing through a window into an apartment, except instead of his form-fitting costume's pants colored blue like they were supposed to, the they had (white guy) skin tone.

I don't know what it says about me, but I can picture that vividly. I definitely would have gotten a pen and at least added some asscrack.
