As unlikely as it sounds....

An RAF officer left a female Tube passenger's spine 15 per cent shorter after her back was fractured when he tried to slide down an escalator handrail, a court has heard.

Flt Sgt Frans Bekker, from Cardiff, was travelling through London with friends when he tried the stunt at Holborn Underground station to prove he “could still move”, Westminster Magistrates’ Court was told.

The 50-year-old hopped backwards onto the moving handrail of the descending escalator but lost control and ploughed into three women, the BBC reported.

It sound like one of those one in a million incidents...doesn't help the poor lady mind...

Hmm, he was our Adj once. Nice chap, can't envisage him sliding down an escalator handrail to be honest.

But, RAF Officer... facepalm.gif

You're dead right Vim - but I can think of plenty of people I would rather have heard had dropped that kind of bollock. Top guy, such a shame he had to be the unlucky one:pDT_Xtremez_42:

Knew him at a certian training Unit in the West Mids socially. Really nice bloke who although a discip seemed to have the utmost respect of his lads.

Lets face it who hasn't done stupid stuff on the Tube in London while out on the lash? really hope he doesn't go to prison for something that was blatantly and accident although obviously very stupid. Feel sorry for the woman too of course.

I wonder what compensation the injured party will receive?
After all, he's put a real severe blight on her activities.

Probably saved on her clothing costs. 15% shorter, sounds like a cash saving to me...

Me. Try living at ISK (or Jockland in general) for a chunk of time, rather than the Home Counties, or webfinger central.
