Alexander Shadrin is reported to have fallen 23 floors from a high-rise apartment balcony after his macho stunt to impress a girl went awfully wrong.

Thankfully, the teen was conscious as at the time the paramedics showed up at the scene of the incident.

Eyewitnesses told Siberian Times that Shadrin had climbed over the railing of the balcony at his home in Novosibirsk, Siberia in a desperate move to impress a female friend.

Unfortunately, Shadrin was unable to stay on the balcony and would have been smashed into a thousand pieces if not for the Renault Logan car parked below which ended up breaking his fall.

Although Shadrin suffered 'serious injuries,' he is stable and in intensive care.

Pictures from the scene will leave you chilled to your bones as the roof of the car can be seen smashed into itself.

The Renault actually saved Shadrin by "cushioning his fall," and luckily for the driver of the car, he was no where near the premises.
