An attempt to go down the sinkful Volgograd pensioner to go down the underwear rope from the balcony of his apartment on the fourth floor turned out to go in full failure. An elderly man hung between the third and fourth floors and stayed in such a distress for about an hour, waiting for the rescuers.
The unfortunate was noticed by the locals and called the city rescue service. Grandfather had to remove with the help of special climbing equipment, and when he was finally lowered to the ground, the man was completely exhausted. According to rescuers, he "clearly went through", according to the local UNEWS portal, publishing a video of this event.
70-year-old Valentin Ivanov decided to leave the house in such a non-trivial way after his own daughter closed him in the apartment. The pensioner really wanted to meet friends, skip a glass and play dominoes, clarifies Life News .
As a result, he wrapped himself with a underwear rope and tried to go down where his friends expected him, but clearly did not calculate his strength. As a result, he sagged at a decent height for about an hour until rescuers arrived, the newspaper writes.
“This is a miracle that he remained intact and unharmed,” the portal quotes the words of the platoon commander of the municipal rescue service of Boris Nekipelov. “The linen rope was rotten, and the pensioner saved only the fact that he clung to the tarpaulin from the neighboring balcony. In addition, the pensioner was clearly impulsive.”
As a result, the failed climber was handed over to the emergency doctors who arrived at the place of emergency.
