Punter Hospitalised After Balcony Fall At Dune Rats Gig

Staff Writer

Shocking footage emerges

A 20-year-old was rushed to hospital last night in Adelaide after leaping off a balcony at Thebarton Theatre during a Dune Rats show.

Expecting the audience below to catch him, the punter jumped off the balcony, but landed on the floor.

As 7 News reports, an onsite paramedic attended to the accident before he was taken to Royal Adelaide Hospital, treated for facial injuries and discharged.

Footage of the incident has been uploaded to YouTube and social media.
