Lift Shaft Plunge

A German man has survived a 25ft fall down a lift shaft with minor injuries, due to landing on a woman that fell down the shaft the day earlier!

27 year old Jens Wilhelms from Frankfurt fell down the lift shaft in his apartment block when the doors to the shaft had been left open whilst maintenance was being carried out. Wilhelms was peering down the shaft to see if there was any indication to whether repair work had started when he slipped and toppled over the edge.

Luckily for Wilhelms he didn’t hit the floor, but landed on the unconscious body of a 57 year old woman who had fallen down the shaft a day earlier.

Despite the impact of Wilhelms landing on the woman causing her more injuries, the accident probably saved her life. Wilhelms was able to climb out of the lift shaft uninjured and call for help. The woman was rushed to hospital where she is said to be in a critical but stable condition. If Wilhelms hadn’t fallen on the woman she may have laid undetected for longer and eventually died from internal bleeding.

Here at The Morningstarr* the question on everyone’s lips is “did Wilhelms let out a real Wilhelm Scream as he toppled over the edge?”
