Teenager falls 23 storeys while doing pull-ups to impress girl, survives

A 16-year-old boy in Siberia went dangerously overboard when trying to impress a girl he liked by using balcony railings as a prop for doing pull-ups. Even though he fell down from the 23-storey building, he luckily managed to survive.

Alexander Shadrin was still conscious when he landed on a taxi parked underneath after dropping 230 feet from a building’s balcony. He has suffered serious injuries and is presently in intensive care, according to the Siberian Times. Investigators have revealed that he had ‘climbed over the balcony rails, clung on for sometime, but then couldn’t hang on any longer, and fell onto a car parked below.’

Fortunately, the driver was not in the vehicle at the time of the fall. Moreover, the identities of the girl he was trying to impress as well as his relatives have not been disclosed.
