So at 06:45 he decided to go take a breath of fresh air on the balcony and leaned over a tad too far.

A great weekend...

Low rails on balconies are usually okay until alcohol is entered into the mix...

He should buy a lottery ticket asap.

I believe I can fly.........thud!

We have drunk idiots that have zero clue of the concept of gravity. We don't have a low balcony rail problem. Its a myth. 

 

Post a half dozen pictures of these allegedly low rails that are much lower than European or N American norms
