A British holidaymaker has died after a drunken prank at his Majorca hotel went horribly wrong. The 27-year-old plunged more than 30 feet after losing his grip as he hung off his fifth-floor balcony and asked friends to count how long he could hold on for.The dead man had just got back from a boozy night out with four holiday pals in the party resort of Magaluf when he attempted the stunt.
He was today named as Kevin Anthony Arie Hubert Louis, from Blackburn, Lancashire. An onlooker said: 'It all happened so quickly. He clambered over his balcony and only held on for a few seconds before he dropped.
'He fell head-first like a lead weight and smashed on to a concrete ramp leading down to an underground car park next to his hotel garden.
'His friends saw everything. 'They were in tears when ambulance workers told them their friend was gone.'
A police source added: 'The friends told us he wanted to show off and hung off his balcony to see how long he could hold on for. 'He fell before they could talk him out of it. 'They had been drinking most of the night but they sobered up pretty quickly with the shock.'
The group of five men only returned to their holiday apartment near Magaluf ten minutes before Sunday morning’s tragedy, which happened around 7.40am. Pathologists were due to conduct a post-mortem today in the Majorcan capital Palma. The dead man is the second Brit to die this summer in a fall from a Magaluf hotel.

Did I tell you-all this story?
When I was on a Naval deployment back in the day, there was a sailor who fell from a balcony ...and lived! Although he almost wished he hadn't. We were returning home and had stopped at one of those small Bali Islands, I can't remember which; where he went out on the town, got snockered and hooked up with an island girl. Well, things got nekkid; so, afterwards he decides to enjoy the night air on the balcony and leans on the railing to light a cigarette. What he didn't know was the rail was rusted, rotten at the bolts and gave way under his weight. Over the side the goes!

Fell a few stories, crashing through some awnings and landed in a street stand just like in the movies! Thing is- in real life you don't easily walk away from that unscathed. When he was well enough to go back to duty, he sported a broken arm and was literally covered head to toe in cuts and bruises!
...which were not going to heal up in time for him to deny anything to the wife!

You mean to say the fuckers didn't even count?He was today named as Kevin Anthony Arie Hubert Louis, from Blackburn, Lancashire. An onlooker said: 'It all happened so quickly. He clambered over his balcony and only held on for a few seconds before he dropped.
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?
