A PERTH man has fallen from his ninth storey flat while "skylarking" in his underwear and lived to tell the tale.
It was believed the 35-year-old man was putting planks across to a neighbour's flat when he fell, police said.
A pergola on the ground broke his fall.
Police and St John Ambulance were called to a group of flats just after midnight, police spokeswoman Ros Weatherall said.
"It was an iron and timber structure, possibly a pergola that cushioned his fall," she said.
"He was skylarking around, building planks across to his neighbour's place when it happened.
"He was very lucky."
The man suffered a suspected broken leg and cuts.
