Lin Gu, 25, and lover Lee Shin, 29, were left with broken bones and bruises after their car toppled over the edge of a hill in XinDian, reports Today News.

A spokesman for police who were called by witnesses said: "They had parked up close to the edge of the mountain and had left the handbrake off.

"When they started having sex the rocking motion started the car moving and it rolled off the hill. They were lucky they were not more seriously hurt."

The two lovers had driven to a deserted mountain road and parked but their movements made the car topple over the edge and roll down to the bottom of the valley.

Despite their injuries - and being covered with mud and grass - the couple managed to clamber back up to the road where the woman asked the man to keep walking while she sought help at a nearby house.

Homeowner Chen Chenggang said the woman pleaded with him not to reveal how the accident happened as her husband "would definitely sue for divorce".

Maybe Toss: Bystanders Hurt
What an embarrassing way to get caught! My feeling, however, is that it was the responsibility of the driver to set the parking brake and therefore whoever wasn't driving counts as a hurt bystander. Thanks just the same, Jeff. This is a pretty humorous story!

Maybe Toss: Other
I'm agreed on the bystanders hurt issue, but the last line makes it hard for me to give it an outright "no!" And whose idea was it to do the back seat dance near a cliff? As far as I'm concerned, ALL cliffs have (in my mind) big, fat CAUTION: DANGER! signs on and around them! Thanks, Jeff, you're definitely on the right track!

Definitely Keep: Honorable Mention
I rather like this one, and it would seem BOTH parties are guilty because the passenger could have easily suggested a spot a bit farther from the edge (I know I would have)! That, and the embarrassment factor make this a good tale of stupidity! Thanks, Jeff!

I to see the humor, but i have to agree that the passenger is a bystander

Yes, I agree with the Bystanders rule, but this story just made me laugh - plus, if I was planning a romantic interlude on a cliff, I would make sure the driver had applied the handbrake!
