Man aged 43, injured in a car accident was being flown to a hospital aboard a rescue helicopter. When the helicopter was about to land in the hospital in South Polish city of Sosnowiec, the injured man started the fight with paramedics and a pilot, breaking the paramedics leg. Then he managed to open the helicopter's door and jumped to his death some 10 meters below at the hospital landing pad. The name of the victim has not been released.

I'm not really happy about this one, but I'm willing to let it slide for now. Could we have more information?

I'm unhappy about him breaking the paramedic's leg... how long did teh paramedic have to stay off work, and how many lives were risked or lost as a result? But leaving aside the "bystanders hurt" aspect, I'll just say I'd like to see more information on this one.
