A window cleaner in Gold Coast, Australia survived a nine-story fall from a tower with a broken arm — and a broken pelvis from his safety harness wedgie.

The 20-year-old man fell about 80 feet until his feet hit an awning on the side of the building.

Bystanders said he appeared to be in a lot of pain, but he retained his sense of humor, telling co-workers that he had “a big wedgie” from his safety harness.

The man was taken to Gold Coast Hospital in serious condition.

Safety inspectors are trying to determine the exact cause of the man’s fall.
