When locked out of one's apartment in a high-rise complex, what does one do to try and do to get inside? Unlike most clear minded people, our intrepid Darwinian adventurer (almost on two fronts), who's name was not released by police, had locked his keys in his apartment, had obviously watched Spiderman once too often. In fact maybe it was Spiderman 2...Instead of trying to contact management for help, he took on his own superhero-esque approach!

The first time he tried scaling the OUTSIDE of his building he reached the second floor of the building before loosing his grip and falling to the car park beneath. Luckily for the man involved, his fall was broken by a car windscreen, which funnily enough, was destroyed by the impact. But did this deter our adventurer-Spiderman wannabe! Of course not.

On his second attempt he reached the third floor of the building before once again, you guessed it, losing his grip. This time he missed the car, saving it from further damage, by impacting with the tarmac, causing serious head injuries. The man will make a full recovery but hopefully will think twice about stupid decisions in the future - like having children!

I like the fact that he had to try twice... you would think, or at least any sane man would think that having failed at the second floor, that the possibility of slipping again on a second attempt would be pretty high...
