Trash Saves Man From Suicide Jump

abhatt writes "Uncollected trash and heaps of snow in New York after last week's blizzard-although irritating to many residents-may have saved a man's life. The man attempted suicide Sunday by jumping from the ninth floor of a building in midtown Manhattan, but the garbage broke his fall, according to New York police."

Was thinking "Trash Foils Man's Suicide Attempt" would be a more accurate headline. I doubt, at the time, he considered himself saved.
