Skylight Romance

2009 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

In the early hours of September 27, 2008, a new nightclub, called "The Club" was full of life in the otherwise sleepy, conservative city of San Luis Potosí, Mexico. Around 2 am, the official time for clubs in the city to close, according to regulations, a call came in to the emergency number from a male in his 20's, calling from his cel. He and his 20 year old girlfriend, Alma, had about two stories and needed to be rescued. They told the operator they were at "The Club". About 20 minutes later, rescue workers arrived at The Club and, with the help of the owner, looked all over the two stories of the dance club, the kitchen and the storage areas. The couple was nowhere to be found.

It was considered a prank call and the rescue workers left. A few minutes later, the young man called the emergency workers again, repeating the information he had given the first time, and wondering why no one had shown up. Once again, rescue workers searched The Club to no avail. The third time the young man called, the operator told him that rescue workers were at the site and could not find him, so he started yelling at the top of his voice. This time, it worked, the rescue team heard his yells through a wall.

When he was rescued, the man confessed that he and Alma had decided to look for a place to have drunken sex, since both still lived with their parents. Since The Club was too crowded, they sneaked behind a wall and found a rickety staircase clearly marked "No Trespassing". They climbed it anyway, and found their way to the roof of The Club, which was private enough for them.

Apparently, not satisfied with the fact that they were three stories up, they decided that the best place to have sex was on a near-by glass skylight, which happened to overlook the lobby of the building next to The Club, empty at the time. As any reasonable person would know, a glass skylight is not made for holding the weight of two people copulating on it, and of course, they found this out too when the glass cracked under the weight and they fell through.

Both Alma and her date (I've looked for his name, but it was kept out of the news) might have survived the fall, and avoided Darwin Awards, had they come clean about where they'd fallen from, but it seems they were both scared of the consequences of having trespassed, and did not mention that they had actually fallen from a skylight into another building.

The young man was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries, but eventually survived. Alma was not so lucky. She bled out at the scene, during the hour and a half wait to be rescued. Thus, she becomes a contender for a Darwin Award, while here partner in crime goes away with an honorable mention. Also, they were attempting to procreate at the time, but thankfully, did not.

I first heard this story from the mother of the owner of The Club, who is being sued by Alma's family. Since I believed his mother to be biased, I searched the news for a different account. Seems like the blame does fall on the couple, although her family insists that the club did not have the proper license (for having sex on a skylight?) and sold the couple adulterated drinks that made them behave like that, because, says the family, Alma was a good Catholic and would never have engaged in premarital sex.
