Spring breaker falls off Beach motel roof | beach, dial, humphreys - News - Northwest Florida Daily News

A spring breaker from Crossville, Tenn., fell off of a slanted metal roof and landed on his face Tuesday night, Panama City Beach police said. Jonathon Dale Dial, 20, had "been drinking all day" when he returned with some friends to the Super 8 Motel at 11004 Front Beach Road shortly before 11 p.m. Tuesday night, said Maj. David Humphreys.
Dial climbed over a railing and onto the roof while holding a "big Coke bottle." Apparently the roof was directly in front of his room. But before he could get to the balcony, Dial then slipped and fell about 15 feet. When a Panama City Beach police officer arrived, the officer noted that Dial appeared to have facial fractures, loss of teeth and possible head injuries.
Even if spring breakers are not driving, it is important to have one sober person in the group to watch out for the others, Humphreys said.
"People should consider that there are hazards with drinking too much and being in areas where they can harm themselves," he added.
It is a misdemeanor to climb on balconies on Panama City Beach, Humphreys said, but he doubted that his agency would charge Dial with anything. Humphreys described the ordinance as a "preventative" measure.
"At this point, you would be adding insult to injury," Humphreys said. "What are you accomplishing?"

Does this count as a balcony fall? If so I'm out $10.00.

SWGB, what is the over-under for the number of roof and balcony falls by idiots this spring break season?

It's like my daddy says (I think he's quoting Twain):

When boys become teenagers, put them in a barrel and feed them through the knothole.

When they turn 25, plug the knothole. :roll:

There's at least one every year. I have a five spot that Phead knows this guy...

Speaking of...I wonder how his Myrtle Beach adventure is going...

A couple of years ago a neighbor saw teenagers jumping off the second floor balcony into our pool. The parents were inside the house drinking. The kids were outside smoking grass. A neighbor called us, we called rental management, and they evicted these "guests" with no refund (so these idiots lost about half a week, so almost $2500 ).

Now we have signs posted that say, "Do not jump off balconies or porches into pool" and "No diving."

Of course, on several occasions I have seen grandmas at the house next door babysitting little kids on the third floor . The kids climb over the porch railing and onto the roof! The sitter seems okay with what is going on. I always fuss at the kids and tell them to get off the roof and back onto the porch. Who saves their lives when I'm not there?

Sorry...I guess my post sounds a little insensitive; however, I stand by my statement that there's at least one a year...

Don't fight natural selection.
