Sleep Walker Wakes Up And Falls Off Roof
Bizarre News: "June 25, 2005, 9:10:33
A sleepwalking German fell off his roof after waking up mid-wander - and losing his balance.
Thomas Manninger climbed out of a first-floor window, shimmied up a drainpipe and managed to walk across the roof of his house, before falling 20 feet to the ground when he woke up and realised where he was.
The 39-year-old said he had often woken up in different parts of the house after sleepwalking, but this was the first time he had ended up on the roof. He said: 'I must have been having a very strange dream.'
A police spokesman said: 'The only thing that saved him was the fact that he fell onto a lawn that was still soggy from the rain.'
Mr Manninger was taken to hospital, where doctors said he had a few bruises but no broken bones.
He has now been booked into a specialist sleep laboratory in Frankfurt for a course of therapy."
