Women Saved By German Man Falling On Her

Not the way you would normally fall for a woman granted but for a twenty seven year old German man it was the way he saved an unconscious women's life.

Twenty seven year old Jens Wilhelms was walking along when he had the misfortune to fall down a twenty five foot lift shaft. What broke his fall at the bottom and saved him from injury was a big surprise to him, it was actually an unconscious fifty seven year old woman who had fallen down the shaft the day before.

Some would say its unlucky that the lady fell down the shaft and even more unlucky that she then had the misfortune of a man using her as a crash barrier when he fell down the shaft. The truth is that the fifty seven year old lady in question was actually saved by Jens as she had been unconscious for over 24 hours and was serious injured.

The emergency services who rescued both from the lift shaft said that it was a bizarre event as Jens falling on the woman actually damaged her more severely but saved her life at the same time.

What a wildly strange and bizarre story. Just wasn't their time to leave the planet.

Crazy story... but I can believe it; I actually had a distant relative who did fall down a lift shaft many, many years ago but he wasn't quite so lucky. In those days you can perhaps imagine that sort of error happening but these days? Hmm, someone's going to have a very big lawsuit!
