Oh, if only Chelsea and Brent had aimed for the fig tree!
Couple making love al fresco fall 50 feet... but are saved by a fig tree
Last updated at 11:17am on 3rd July 2007A young British courting couple had a miraculous escape when they plunged nearly 50 feet from a wall in Majorca because their fall was broken by a tree.
Leanne Hanley, 21, from Blackpool, and boyfriend Nicholas Maxwell, also 21, from nearby Preston, climbed up to the view point next to their holiday apartment block after a night on the town in the brash resort of Magaluf, on the holiday island's south coast.
They were indulging in what police described as "an amorous game" when they fell from the wall at 5.30am on Sunday.
A fig tree like this one became the British couple's saviour when, momentarily distracted from their own safety, they took a tumble
As they plunged to the ground they crashed through the branches of a fig tree which broke their fall and saved their lives.
Leanne is recovering in hospital at nearby Palma, the island's capital, with two broken ankles, while Nicholas was not even hurt.
Said one police officer: "These young people were extremely lucky. They fell 15 meters - the equivalent of six storeys.
"Normally people do not survive a fall of more than three floors. It was the tree that saved them."

Obviously, they were "playing puppies" (Buns Up Kneelin'), that's why Leanne broke her ankles and Nicholas wasn't hurt.
There once was a lass named Leanne,
Who desired "New Heights" with her man,
During their Amorous Jig,
They fell 50ft thru the Fig,
Next time just stay in the van!!
There once was a lad named Nicholas,
Who took liberties with his lass,
Up 50ft they would screw,
but they took in too much of the view,
and he got a the "big fig" up his ass!!!
