Chump Gets Bumped by Jumper In The Dumps

A Chinese man died after catching his girlfriend as she jumped from the seventh floor of an apartment block in the south-eastern city of Quanzhou, according to media reports.

The young man, identified only by the surname Wang, held out his arms to break the woman's fall as she plummeted from their high-rise apartment this week.

Wang was killed by the impact of his girlfriend landing on top of him, while the woman suffered bone fractures and other serious injuries but was not in critical condition.

The couple had quarrelled shortly before the woman began threatening to jump from the apartment, according to witnesses. Just before the incident occurred, Wang was seen on the street below the apartment, trying to persuade his girlfriend not to jump.
