bluescat Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Dude! Wheres my mosh pit? Bounce through window puts bizarre coda on bed-leaping guitarists life SINGAPORE - A teenage guitarist got so carried away while bouncing up and down on his bed mimicking a rock star that he flew out of a third floor window to his death, a Singapore newspaper reported. The Straits Times said in Wednesday's editions that Li Xiao Meng, a 16-year-old from China who was studying at Singapores Hua Business School, was a keen musician who liked to jump up and down while playing his guitar in his hostel room. But on Nov. 17 he took things a bit too far, the newspaper said, reporting on a coroners court findings. Ruling death by misadventure, the court said evidence points to the deceased unintentionally falling out of the window to his death when he was hyped up with exhilaration, jumping up and down on the bed placed against an open window while mimicking a rock guitarist. Normally the windows were locked, the newspaper said, but students sometimes forced them open so they could smoke, something prohibited by the hostel.

caprae Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Too bad it wasn't America. He could sue the hostel for not posting proper signs saying that "if you jump on the bed you could fall out the window." Then there was the inadequate window locks which allowed the students to jimmy them open, then there were no safety bars on the windows in case someone did break the locks. Oh, the family would be set for life... Raise your children and spoil your grandchildren. Spoil your children and raise your grandchildren.

Seriously, that's too bad. But it's good to indulge in a little dark "gallows humor" now and then; I'd bet that Li Xiao Meng coulda seen the humor in it all...

WornNeck Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 ....it does give a new meaning to `air guitar` Aw man, that was going to be my line!. you could probably work "stop tail piece" and "hammer-on" into this story somehow.
