Man Jumps From Romanian Parliament Balcony As Protest In Terrifying Video

(By Jon Bershad, Mediaite) - Wow, this is scary. The Romanian Parliament was interrupted today by a man who jumped face first off a balcony. He was protesting austerity measures. The man, Adrian Sobaru, wore a shirt reading “You killed our children’s future, you sold us.” He received fractures to the face but he will live. He was carried away in a stretcher while, clearly unsettled politicians, tried to regain their composure. Some had tears in their eyes.

You can watch the incredible video below. WARNING: While it isn’t graphic, it is disturbing.
