A man who fell from a 131-ft (39.9m) balcony
during a party and survived, tells his story.

Experts say that Sebastian Reyes survived to tell the
tale is a miracle, one for which he should be thankful.

Reyes said: “I felt the fall, but nothing else. I woke up
in hospital.”

According to Metro UK, it was a huge 40 metre fall
from the 17th floor, a fall which included smashing
through the roof of a parking unit. However, despite
the massive fall, Reyes only suffered leg and pelvic
fractures.

Reyes, who lives in Rancagua, Chile, credits the lucky
escape to his tattoo.
The ink – on his forearm – reads: ‘God don’t abandon
me’ or ‘Dios no me abandones’ in Spanish.

Reyes recalled earlier in the evening he had been
watching a Copa America football game and headed
to a club with friends.

They returned to the apartment after clubbing, where
he fell from the balcony in the early hours, by Reyes’
memory is understandably foggy.

He added: “I don’t remember, [I came back around]
around 6.30am or 7.00am.”
