Man goes out window with Christmas tree!
MOENCHENGLADBACH, Germany - January 14, 2008 - A German man threw himself out of an apartment window along with a Christmas tree during a late-night attempt to dispose of his festive decorations.
The man fell 22 feet after he lost his balance throwing the tree onto the street Saturday, according to police in the western city of Moenchengladbach. The tree did not break the victim's fall.
"There's a TV advert showing people having fun throwing their old Christmas trees out the window," said police spokesman Willy Thevessen Monday. "But you're not supposed to jump with them."
The man was taken to hospital in critical condition with severe head injuries after witnesses saw him fall.
