MALLORCA TODAY - Yet another British balcony fall in Magalluf

The report of the fall from a balcony at a hotel in Magalluf of a 17-year-old British tourist says it all and describes what is often the pattern: tourist arrives, gets drunk and then falls from balcony. Very often these incidents do occur only hours after arrival in Mallorca. The tourist's fall was not fatal but could have been. The police say that alcohol is wreaking havoc in resorts such as Magalluf.

Meanwhile, this may not be the most responsible thing ever done, given all the publicity regarding balcony diving, but at least the Kaiser Chiefs' Ricky Wilson's jump into the pool at Ibiza Rocks was from a low balcony and the pool was right below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evRutehxMeI
