A 25-year-old British man is in a serious condition after falling from the second floor of a hotel in Can Picafort early this morning, Monday, according to the SAMU 061 emergency service, which reported that the tourist was under “toxic effects”.
The emergency services were called to the scene at around half past three in the morning. He fell from a height of approximately four metres and suffered multiple fractures to his pelvis, femur, ankle and various polycontusions.
After stabilising him at the scene paramedics activated the serious polytrauma code and rushed him to Son Espases hospital, where he is in a serious condition.
It has since been revealed that the 31-year-old Briton, who will be 32 this week, fell while practising 'balconing'.
The tourist was under the influence of alcohol and was trying to climb between the balconies of two rooms when he fell.
According to sources close to the investigation, the tourist was travelling with a group of friends and had rented two adjoining rooms in the hotel. Shortly before 00:30 on Monday, the injured Briton wanted to go from one room to the other by jumping over the balconies.
