19 year old British youth, who jumped from a fourth floor balcony of a hotel in Palma de Mallorca in an attempt to reach the swimming pool, has become the first victim of ‘balconing’ of the season on the Baleares. It happened at 0.55am in the early hours of Sunday.
The man is now in the Son Espases hospital with a broken forearm and suffering from abdominal pains. He is undergoing a series of tests to determine the seriousness of his injuries.
Que.es reports that sources at the hotel say that the youth was very drunk, and that he had been taken to his apartment by the Guardia Civil after causing a disturbance in the street. Once in his room the youth fell from the balcony for reasons which are unclear.
He was reported to still be conscious when the emergency services arrived at 0055am.
Last year there were some 20 youngsters, all of them foreigners, who took part in the practice of ‘balconing’ on the Baleares.
