    Drunk teenager survives 20ft escalator fall

    A teenager from Cambridge, Massachusetts has survived a fall from an escalator while under the influence of alcohol.

    Shane O'Malley, 18, fell around 20 feet from near the top of the escalator after he climbed on to the handrail and lost his balance. He was quickly taken to hospital after his nearby friend rushed to his motionless body.

    The only significant injury to the teenager was a fractured elbow, though he also complained of a bad back, according to APTN.

    O'Malley said: "We were drinking before the concert and in the concert. Then, I obviously got too drunk and way too irresponsible.

    "My back's killing me... It's making it really difficult to get around."

    When O'Malley was asked if he had any advice for other young drinkers, he answered: "Don't do it - don't drink. It's not worth it.

    "We appeared to have a good time, but it can easily get out of control."

    it appears the wall heading towards him made him lose his balance, and cos he was drunk he fell the wrong way and didnt react!

    that sure is one way to spend a night on the tiles...

    Unfortunately it will now cost the taxpayers a small fortune to put protective fencing around the escalator, so that some other pratt doesn't do it again! Hidden Content
