balconing

Balconing is an activity that involves jumping from a balcony towards a swimming pool.

Videos of balconing have been posted on video sharing web sites such as YouTube, increasing its awareness.

Every year several young British holidaymakers, usually while drunk or high on drugs, are killed or gravely injured in what locals have dubbed balconing - climbing or swinging from one terrace to another, or even purposely leaping from balconies in attempts to land in swimming pools. .
