A Unit of The Sawang Boriboon Rescue Foundation was called out to provide assistance to a Thai man who had fallen off the roof of the building where he lived. At the scene The Mityon Building on Central Pattaya Road opposite Big C Xtra they found a Khun Sanit aged 35. He was laying injured on the metal canopy of the motorcycle showroom and was in severe pain.
Rescue workers had a tricky job getting up to the canopy and worked to stabalize the victim as they feared that he may have suffered a spinal injury. After 30 minutes he was brought down safely and rushed to Banglamung Hospital for emergency treatment.
Miraculously he was bruised and battered but had not sustained any serious injuries or broken bones.
Interviewed later Khun Sanit explained how he ended up in such a predicament. He said that he was in bed with his girlfriend and he had an urge. No not that kind of urge. He had the urge to play "Cookie Run" Apparantly he gets this urge quite frequently. To scratch this urge he went to the roof of the building and sprawled on the top of the concrete wall hanging over the four storey drop to the pavement below. This was the best position to play "Cookie Run" as he got the best WiFi signal from there.
He was engrossed in the game and more than a little drowsy due to some medications he had consumed and simply nodded off and subsequently rolled over and plunged earthward.
Khun Sanit attributes his survival to the fact that Buddha was looking out for him. Let's hope that next time he decides to play "Cookie Run" that he says a few prayers and lights a few incence sticks before scratching his urge on the roof.
