Chinese Teenage Girl Jumps From Third Floor Window After Finding Out Her Boyfriend Is Married [Photos]
A Chinese teenager who jumped from a third-floor window in a suicide bid after learning that her boyfriend is married was saved by a giant pillow.
She clambered out onto a metal pole and threatened to jump.
Despite attempts to talk
her down from the ledge in an apartment block in Hangzhou, capital of
eastern China's Zhejiang Province, she thew herself from the block.
But meanwhile
firefighters had set up a massive air cushion below and the woman landed
safely, escaping uninjured.
It is unclear whether the
woman has intended to reach the pillow or if she had launched a genuine
attempt on her life
The air cushion measures
roughly 6 metres by 7.5 metres and 2.75 metres high, and is capable of
absorbing the shock of a body falling from 10 floors.
From June 2005 to May
2012 an average of 17 emergency incidents a month across China required
cushions, which can be inflated in a minute. [dailymail.co.uk]
