UK teenager survives magic mushroom incident

06 August 2008

An 18-year-old British tourist who jumped 10 meters after consuming hallucinogenic mushrooms has survived because his fall was broken by a café sign and tables, say Amsterdam police. .

The incident took place in the city centre on Tuesday evening.

At the weekend an 18-year-old teenager in The Hague died after jumping from a window while under the influence of so-called magic mushrooms.

He might have survived because he was too lazy to climb above the second story before jumping.
