Gravity.

Sorry for the black humor, it's sad all round. Who knows what really happened. He may have been getting at one with the universe and misjudged where he was. I've been reading Pete Townshend's (The Who) autobiography and he nearly fell out a window from a long way up without even realising what he was doing - luckily for him someone grabbed him.

We recently attended to two gentlemen (in the same week) who thought they could beat gravity; one from 4 stories and one from 9 stories...

While the gentleman from 4 stories may walk again, gravity was once again found to be the unbeatable opponent...

P.S. My thoughts go out to the families of all the casualties.

The guy fell two stories onto a plate glass atrium, through that and then two stories onto the ground...

Ouch!

Misadventure as they call it can kill anyone. I think Dianne Brimble would be the poster child for that.

Aren't we in the business of beating gravity for fun?

Yes, but our victories are temporary, gravity always wins in the end, dust to dust...

Except if you are helium or hydrogen. Both regularly beat gravity (earths) and escape ;-).
