Female student falls eight floors into courtyard of luxury accommodation and SURVIVES
A University of Georgia student was seriously injured after falling from an eighth-floor window into the courtyard and pool area of the Rambler Athens apartment complex on Saturday. Police said she was conscious when emergency services arrived, and she was taken to hospital; the circumstances of the fall are still being reviewed.
The article says the student reportedly lost her balance while dancing on a couch near the window. Rambler Athens, a luxury complex a few blocks from campus with rents averaging about $1,599 a month, said its windows have safety limiters designed to prevent them opening fully and urged residents not to tamper with them.
