A man was denied admittance to The Irish 2000 Center in Coventry England, because he could not prove he was over 21. Rather than retrieve his ID or go searching elsewhere, he decided he would climb in through the skylight.
"He actually moved one of our ventilation fans to climb down from the flat roof. How he didn't electrocute himself we'll never know." said club director Michel O'Brien
Inspector Gary Herrington, of Little Park Street police, added: "He apparently climbed in through a skylight and dropped on a false ceiling, which collapsed and sent him crashing down on to the disc jockey equipment and people on the dance floor."
The man fell some 30 feet after hitting the false ceiling into the middle of the dance floor. Fire crews say the club looked like a disaster area when they arrived and people on the dance floor were standing round in a stunned silence.
Seven clubbers suffered minor injuries and music turntables were damaged. The man made his escape in the confusion.
