Archives for April 6th, 2004

Imagine standing on the fourth floor of a hotel in Ljubljana. Imagine wanting to take a peek outside, opening the hotel window and leaning your body out over a metal safety bar.

Now imagine that the bar suddenly breaks, sending you careening 10 meters (33 feet) down towards the ground. What do you do? Well, you probably die, that’s what you do. Maybe you scream first. And flail, too.

But if you’re name is Steven Jehu, and you’re a member of the British junior gymnastics team, you don’t do any of those things. Instead, you execute a full somersault and make a regular Olympic landing. And you survive.

I kid you not:
