And landed on a woman and an espresso machine. All in a day's work..

"He got up, apparently bewildered, went back upstairs, and that's when I saw him free-falling the second time, onto the espresso machine," said witness Martin Kirkwood. "It was a very horrible sight." 😀:beer:
 
Both the jumper and the victim were taken to the hospital, but their injuries were not life-threatening, police say

How do you jump from the fifth floor (easily 50 feet, probably a little more) and not bust your melon all over the place? TWICE at that? 😕
 
There are techniques for falling safely from up to 75 feet. Needless to say... he fell on a lady and a cappuchino machine... he more than likely wasnt trying to use those techniques.

the rules are clear, he must not be able to reproduce, so unless this guy smashed his sack on a coffee pot the answer is no
 
How does one safely fall from 75 feet? That might be useful information to know one day.

1 floor = 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 feet, depending on plenum size.

I know if someones falling you have a much better chance of helping them if you push them horizontally b4 they hit and transfer some of their force that way instead of down, than you do of catching them...
 
he is obviously not crazy enough to think that hey...i made the first jump i must be lucky or something so ill continue to live my life.

i wonder what he actually thought after he got up on the first jump.

He is probably in the hospital thinking third time is the charm!!

It's called a Parachute Landing Fall, or a PLF. No, I am not making that up.
