A University of Pittsburgh student trying to impress a woman by leaping from one rooftop to another instead fell into a narrow gap between the buildings near campus and had to be rescued, police said Tuesday.

The student, a 22-year-old from nearby Indiana Township, fell awkwardly between buildings in the city’s Oakland neighborhood and became wedged in a narrow, debris-filled space. It took rescuers about four hours to free him.

 “The young man met a girl, brought her up to a rooftop and decided to impress her by leaping from one roof to the next,” said Sonya Toler, a spokeswoman with the Department of Public Safety.

Crews used a jackhammer and other tools to break through a wall from inside a restaurant on the first floor of one of the buildings. A paramedic was lowered on a rope to check on the man before other paramedics led him to safety, said Emily Schaffer, another spokeswoman with the Department of Public Safety.

 

The things we men do to impress women with bumpy bits :O(

I remember I once tried to impress Chin Tu Fat and Luv Lee Lai by doing stunt with my dirt bike in Doha Jadeed area and my lungi got stuck in the chain of my bike and feel so badly with my face down on the ground....:(

I was later wondering why so many people were looking/ starring ?

Then later I understood, I choose the wrong place for the stunt ! :(

Me and my wife were on a break after an argument and she said I could date whoever I wanted. Apparently her sister was off limits

Animals do incredible things to impress the opposite gender. Are we also animals? In terms of mating rituals, I guess so.

Even Adam ate the apple to impress Eve. The result? We were all kicked out of paradise.

Just days back I had posted an item on a Greek Marathon runner who ran the 1896 Olympic marathon to impress the most beautiful girl in his city, won the Gold medal and was successful in marrying her.

Some win; some lose!
