You know if a plate is hot by holding your hand over it. Trust me, I'm a chef.

Wow, what a sad, unfortunate incident. I hope he's able to recover fully. We recently had a college student fall from the third floor of an apartment building here, and he broke both arms and legs. He was trying to avoid a possible underage drinking ticket.

Interesting question. Usually, the lock is INSIDE the bathroom, so he could have easily unlocked the door himself. And usually the bathroom door opens INTO the bathroom, so nothing was blocking the door from opening.

There aren't many ways to prevent a bathroom door from opening. Tying a rope to the doorknob from the outside?

Sounds like he was sneaking into the bathroom after hanging outside a bedroom, eh?

A malfunctioning lock?, happened to a friend a while ago. When the other people heard her they had to open a hole in the door for her to get out.

Well, Nadal isn't. I see nothing unreasonable about what happened there.

Vika isn't going to like that, she might have to put on the latex and get the whip out.



God, can you imagine Azarenka in latex! You're welcome for me putting that image into all your heads.

Put a door stopper under the door (in here it is shaped like a wedge) from outside, best glue the door stopper with super glue onto the floor.

I got locked in a bathroom once. The lock was just faulty and wouldn't open after I locked the door. The house was full of people, so I just called out. If he was home alone, might have panicked and thought no one was coming, or tried to spare the embarrassment of calling someone out from the street to help him.

Poor guy, I hope he's gonna be alright.

i was starting to look for a macgyver-like solutions with coton-buds and toothbrushes and to wonder about the nutritional value of toothpaste or toilet duck...

poor guy indeed, i hope he'll be ok... some of the comments in this thread are a bit harsh !

How high was the window? Sure it wasn't an attempted suicide?

Sometimes people don't have time. And Nadal knows that time is money. Every second counts. Pretty sure most people don't hover their hand over every plate they touch. Also, Nadal is a chef too (he cooks for himself, unlike Federer).

Okay really dude?

Tell me you didn't laugh at either one of these videos. When people do stupid **** that never should have been attempted and get hurt, it's really their own fault and they deserve to be laughed at.

Yeah but you didn't jump out the third story window and think it would all be okay.

I mean getting locked in a bathroom is probably the best place to get locked in, because if you have to go to the bathroom, well let's just say that won't be a problem.
