Double fall
A German man survived falling 25ft down a lift shaft after landing on a woman who had plunged down it the day before.
Jens Wilhelms, 27, escaped unharmed after his fall was cushioned by the 57-year-old woman and managed to free himself.
He called out rescue services who took the woman to hospital, who is now in a critical condition.
Police spokesman Manfred Vonhausen said: "The woman had been lying unconscious in the shaft for some time already.
"Although it made her injuries worse it also probably saved her life that he fell on her as it meant he knew she was there and managed to get help." Rescue workers said that without Wilhelm’s plunge the woman would have died from internal bleeding.
