8th fl fall practicing Extreme Yoga

Article in Spanish:

Incident occurred in Monterrey, Mexico, while a young, 25 year old woman was practicing "extreme yoga" from the balcony of her 8th floor apartment building.

The woman was trying to hold herself with her thighs from the edge of the glass enclosed balcony, while her body was hanging upside down, facing the street.

Her fall was from about a height pf about 75 feet. She suffered multiple fractures and is in critical condition.

Definitely Toss: Too Common
Sorry, Sergio, but people do this all the time with no cushion or safety net. It's really stupid, but not unusual. Thanks anyway.

Definitely Keep: Honorable Mention
While I agree with Candi that these sorts of things are quite commonplace I think the photo in the referenced article makes this particular entry worth considering. What arrogance to attempt such a thing with no regard to personal safety. Thanks, Sergio.

This fool seems to be more about the extreme than the yoga. Lesson learned...!
