Sleep Walker Survives Fall
Updated : Aug 21, 2009
A Romanian man escaped with only minor injuries after he fell from a fourth floor window while he was asleep.
Marius Purcariu, 32, from Arad, was found wrapped in a curtain on the bonnet of a car parked under his bedroom window.
He told doctors he could not remember how he got there.
He said: "I remember turning off the TV and going to sleep around 2am. Then I heard noises and my wife was calling my name from the window. I was very lucky I guess."
Doctors said it was a miracle he suffered nothing worse than a leg fracture and a broken rib in the fall.
They believe it was a clear case of sleepwalking and say the fact his body was relaxed during the fall because he was still asleep may have saved his life.
