I'd hardly call a broken arm a serious injury after falling from that height.

Looks like a broken leg as well. No doubt at his age and his weight his pelvis is no doubt shattered as well.  Most people die falling 8 stories, but the roof helped break his fall.  He may still have life threatening problems from striking the floor.

The German (BMW) crashed into the noodle stall (Toyota).

 

Conclusion: The noodle stall exploded.

The Toyota will be up and running as soon as a new pot of water boils. The BMW will be out of commission for awhile.

Well, special "mama" today with some meat..... (honestly he should be very lucky. Do we know how it comes?)

Reason why I always ask for a lower level room, when I book a hotel room. For some strange reason us Farangs seem to be into hotel and condo basejumping....

Looks like he has had a few noodles in his day.

The noodle shop staff & any customers would have been surprised to say the least.

Look, flying Farang 

The shop owners will be relieved that he survived, because who else is going to pay for damages?

And a voice from above was heard to shout.

"No, you stupid felang, i asked for a bowl of apfel strudle, not apfel noodles"

Didn't they ask him what happened and why he was on the roof??

 

I bet we never hear from this again unfortunately.

 

But i agree that the balconyrailings in Thailand are too low for tall westerners...that's VERY dangerous.

They say he jumped from the roof.What was he doing on the roof.OH and by the way,the roof has not got balcony rails so why keep bringing those up?

So the balcony trend is now over.

Just another day in the Land of Misery

If he is awake he should be able to say "pushed" or "fell".

 

he may have to be careful what he says if he was pushed, if he jumped he will need some serious counselling , we might never hear the full story.

The eight floor was it Thai floor ?? so it is not very high.!!!

Such a hard way to order a bowl of "koitieu". Hope he get well soon.
