Unlike the story about the toddler who fell out the window (http://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=205045)... this one did not end so well for the person doing the catching.
A Chinese man was killed last night after trying to catch his suicidal girlfriend as she jumped from the seventh floor of their Quanzhou apartment building in south-eastern China.
The young man, only identified as Wang, tried to break the woman’s fall by holding out his arms, witnesses said. He was killed by the impact of her body landing on top of him, according to Perth Now.
His girlfriend survived the fall, suffering only from bone fractures and other injuries. She was not in critical condition and expected to make a full recovery.
The couple had quarreled before Wang went to the street below to try and persuade his girlfriend not to jump. It was unclear if she plummeted from a ledge or out of a window.
Hospital staffers say the woman appears confused and doesn’t know how she fell.
Feel bad for the guy... a flattened Wang is never a good thing.
