BOCA RATON - A 20-year-old Boca Raton man fell five stories from a balcony after he attempted to show someone he could climb from one story down to the next, police said.

The accident happened at about 3:10 a.m. Thursday when Zachary Nimhauser returned home with a friend to his building in the 400 block of Northeast Mizner Boulevard. He was locked out of his apartment, so he went into his friend's apartment, who lived one floor above him.

Nimhauser was able to lower himself into his fourth-floor balcony from her apartment, police said. But they said he told another friend: "Hey let me show you what I can do."

That's when Nimhauser returned to the fifth floor and again tried to lower himself to the fourth floor but fell, police said.

Boca Raton Fire-Rescue took him to Delray Medical Center in serious but stable condition, said spokesman Frank Correggio.

I have a friend who drove an ambulance at Daytona for years, He said things like this, and trying dive in a pool were not uncommon.

He did say sometimes he would go on a call, and it would be some college girl from up north that was so sunburned, she couldn't put clothes on.:sifone:

The best part of the story is the first time he made it and he only fell when he decided to show off and replicate the stunt! 3 am you can rest assured that intoxication was an underlying issue. 50 ft is a hard hit, my uncle fell from about 15 feet off his porch and was pretty much brain dead on impact, died 36 hours later. Gravity doesn't care what you "planned" on doing!
