News of the weird (and the clumsy)

Man falls down same cliff twice:

George Stastny tripped on a narrow footpath and fell down a 20ft cliff as he was enjoying a stroll in the Teesdale Valley, close to his home in Whorlton, near Barnard Castle in County Durham.

His fall was broken by rocks and trees, but the 66-year-old broke his nose and injured his back.

He was still conscious, so his wife, Mary, managed to drag him back to the top of the cliff, where he eventually passed out.

Without a mobile phone, Mrs Stastny, 53, decided to run for help, leaving her husband safely away from the cliff.

But as she turned away, he stood up, fainted again, and fell back down the cliff.

"I turned around to see him stand up and to my horror, he fell down again. He fell right down the cliff to where he was before.

"There were these awful noises coming from him, there were all sorts of moans and groans," the landscape gardener said.

"He felt fine," Mrs Stastny said. "He said he woke up and thought: 'I've seen this branch before'.
