I thought his poor brother hit the floor at 124mph. Wasn't he holding onto a scaffold board(?) that slowed his fall enough to help him survive?
Still pretty miraculous...

But Stefan Bright, safety director for the International Window Cleaners Association, told the paper Mr Moreno was lucky.

He said: "Window washers have fallen six feet and died."

I knew a guy who fell six inches and died!




seriously he fell off the edge of a pallet and broke his leg. Had it set in plaster and then got a blood clot about three weeks later which killed him.   :(
