A BASE jumper in Acapulco leaped off the top of a hotel, but his parachute caught wind and he was thrown off course.  He ended up crashing into the side of a nearby building, somewhere around the 11th floor.

He hung on for dear life until an older lady gave him a hand onto her balcony.  Then she offered him a glass of water.
