Man falls 12 stories and survives
Edited on Thu Jun-03-04 08:08 AM by Champ
A Taiwanese man who fell from the balcony of his 12th floor flat while changing a lightbulb, has escaped serious injuries.

Chang Shih-chi, 68, told cable network CTiTV he lost his balance after suffering an electric shock.

He said his fall was broken as he bounced off a canvas awning, electric wiring and a parked car, says the Taipei Times.

A doctor who treated the man in Taichung said: "The patient fell from the 12th floor to the ground without suffering major injuries. This is a miracle."
