                  Too much spare time on his hands.

İbrahim Koyuncu (25) took an interest in extreme sports and

began to post adrenaline-filled videos of himself  on social 

media.  

However (!), on 6 March Koyuncu decided to cross under an 

overpass at Ayrılıkçeşmesi in Kadıköy, Istanbul, by holding

on to the iron rails supporting the overpass from underneath.

His stamina ran out, though, and he fell onto the road while

traffic passed by.  Koyuncu somehow avoided being hit by

a car but he did break both his legs. 

                        "What?"

Upon reflection after operations on his legs, Koyuncu 

"explained" that he didn't think his legs could be broken (!)

He regretted having put pedestrians and auto traffic into

danger by his stunt but asserted that "When I get well I'll

do it again!"

Next time just walk...if you can again.
