A man has lost his life in a most foolish way after he attempted a backflip to impress people at a nightclub.
dancefloor where the man attempted the backflip
A man who wanted to impress people died after his attempted backflip on the dancefloor ended in a very fatal way.
The 32-year-old man died after he landed with his head on the barefloor in an incident that happened in Le Gossip nightclub in Savigny-sur-Orge, a suburb in Essonne near Paris.
Emergency services arrived on the scene at around 3am on Tuesday morning and were initially able to resuscitate the victim but he later died from his injuries in hospital.
As they arrived, they had some difficulties in moving through the crowd and so there were altercations with those on the dancefloor.
A police source told AFP: “The victim did a backflip, but landed on his head. It was purely accidental.”
The source told how some punters failed to understand what had happened and accused police of being “spoilsports”.
They said: “People complained. Some tried to hit out at police officers, and there were insults.”
Police were forced to use tear gas in their efforts to evacuate the club, with a 30-year-old man taken into custody for “violence and rebellion”.
