Man Throws Himself Out With Christmas Tree

A German man fell 22 feet after attempting to throw his Christmas tree out of the window during a late-night cleanup Saturday.

The man from Moenchengladbach lost his balance while trying to throw the tree onto the street and fell.  Unfortunately the tree did not break his fall.  He was immediately taken to the hospital and is now in critical condition with severe head injuries.

Police spokesman, Willy Thevessen stated on Monday, “There’s a TV advert showing people having fun throwing their old Christmas trees out the window, but your not supposed to jump with them.”
