Don't Try This At Work

Chinese couple having sex against window fall to their deaths: A Chinese couple join the list of lovers who died while making love at bizarre locations. Reportedly they crashed out of the window of their apartment and fell to their death on the ground below. A reportedly steamy lovemaking session between a couple in Wuhan, central China, turned tragic when they crashed out of the window of their apartment and fell to death. Apparently, the lovebirds were having sex against a glass pane when the substandard window gave away under the weight of their passion.

The pair allegedly moved to the window because of the hot weather in Wuhan, according to reports. That day was particularly humid in Wuhan, that's why the couple probably chose to have sex by the window to keep cool, say reports. Eyewitnesses said, the couple both fell to the ground as they clinched on to each other. The photo which went viral shows the couple on the ground wrapped under sheets with blood spattered on the pavement. Medical staff and police officers are seen investigating the scene.

There has been no confirmation of the fatalities from local Chinese authorities, regarding the incident; if the couple did die while having sex, they join a list of lovebirds killed while making love in bizarre locations. The most pertinent is the incident at a village in Zimbabwe in March, where a woman, identified as Mai Desire, and her boyfriend were mauled by a lion, while they were in the heat of passion in the bushes. According to a report in My Zimbabwe: "Unfortunately the woman, who was also known as Mai Desire, was mauled to death by the lion, but her boyfriend managed to escape naked and he was only wearing a condom." Similarly, in another incident in Scotland, an identified man and a woman in her late 20s were killed when a train ran over them while they were having sex on the railway tracks.

Warning: Sex Against Windows May Result In Death - Honestly, this should go without saying, but apparently one couple in China did not see the danger in having sex against a glass window. The glass they were having sex against evidently gave way and the two tragically plummeted to their untimely deaths. Voyeuristic concerns aside, we’re not sure that having sex against a window is something we would ever really be comfortable with. Reports about his particular incident, however, suggest that the window in question was of poor quality to begin with. Anyway, the two reportedly held each other the entire way down, which we guess is romantic in a super morbid way.

Another Maid Dies Cleaning Windows

Indonesian Maid Dies in 30-Storey Plunge in Singapore:  A 23-year-old Indonesian maid fell 30 storeys to her death at Telok Blangah Heights on Thursday. She had apparently been cleaning the windows of her employer’s flat at about 1 p.m. This is at least the third case so far this year of a maid falling to her death here. A neighbor told Chinese newspaper Shinmin Daily that she was in the vicinity when the maid fell. She was at a nearby bus stop when she heard a loud noise.

She saw the maid on the ground with blood flowing from her head, and the maid’s employer arriving soon after. She said the female employer told her that the maid had lost her balance and fallen out of the window, but managed to cling to it. She shouted for her employer, but fell before the woman could reach her. The maid was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics at about 1.15 p.m. The Straits Times understands that the maid had worked for the family of five — a couple, two young children and an elderly woman — for about two years. The family declined to comment on the incident.

The neighbor said that the maid’s employer would tell her not to open the metal window grilles when she was cleaning the windows. But she still did so, saying she could not clean the windows without opening them. Neighbors said they would occasionally see the maid around the area, and described her as quiet and petite. Police are investigating the incident as an unnatural death.

R.I.P Stephen Willoughby - No Safety Harness

Window washer plunges to his death in Franklin Park: A Butler County man fell to his death on Wednesday afternoon while washing windows on a third-floor roof at the Blaymore II building in Franklin Park. The 48-year-old Zelienople resident, whose name was being withheld pending notification of relatives, was pronounced dead at the scene despite resuscitation efforts by medical personnel from The Cosmetic Surgery & Skin Health Center and paramedics, witnesses said. The man, an employee of Roach Brothers Inc. of Upper St. Clair, fell shortly before 4 p.m. A co-worker was still on the lift.

"The gentleman was on a mini-roof above my office, and another gentleman was in the bucket. He fell right by my window. I called for my staff to call 911 and ran down to him. When I got there, he had no pulse," said Patrick Stewart, chief executive officer for Pepperweed Consulting. "There's a surgical unit on the first floor. I yelled for them, and they came running out and tried to resuscitate him. Paramedics arrived quickly and tried to help him," said Stewart. Investigators said preliminary indications are that the worker was not wearing a safety harness when he fell. Stewart said he did not see a harness on the man, who landed in gravel and shrubbery at the foot of the building.

Most of the Blaymore building on Carmody Court is four stories, but the corner where the man was working is three stories tall. He was working on a flat roof with steep sides. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration was notified, Franklin Park police said. "I can only pray to God that he's in heaven," Stewart said. "I think you have to thank God every day for the gifts you are given because life is very fragile. It makes you realize how important your faith is, your family is. I'm going to go home and kiss my wife and kiss my children."
