Teen survives 20-storey jump
From correspondents in Hong Kong
February 5, 2004

A 15-year-old boy miraculously survived after leaping 20 storeys to escape taunts by his older brother for losing in a computer game.

The boy was taken to hospital pale but unscathed after landing on the awning of a shop on the ground floor of the Kowloon district residential block where he lives, Sing Tao newspaper reported today.

A fire brigade spokesman described the incident as a "miracle and lucky escape".

The former British colony is a dense urban city where most of its seven million inhabitants live in high-rise blocks.

Twenty stories... because his brother was taunting him...

Whatever happened to just punching him in the arm for it?

well, in one year I went through 5 controllers because I got pissed off and would either throw them or just crush them.

Usually games that use the joystick get them wasted.

The joysticks on the PS2 are just pathetic.

Lightweight. I have went through more controllers, for every system, than you can imagine. Broke an Xbox controller (slammed it against my knee), broke a ton of PS2 controllers, a few NGC and the list goes on and on.

And I\'m sorry - if he done this because he was "taunted", well we are better off without him.

the funny thing about breaking controllers is that I always try to stop myself from doing it.  But eventually, it gets to me and down to EB I go for a new controller.

Xbox controllers breaking against your knee\'s is painful.
I don\'t recommend that form of breaking one.
