Dude fell off.
I think this would cause suicides at work to increase lolOr maybe design buildings in a way where all the windows are accessible from the inside. I can only imagine how much of a hassle it would be if i had break out a ladder anytime i needed to wash my second floor windows at home.
fortunately i have windows the open inside like this
