Balcony fall during Finnish binge-drinking stream leaves man seriously injured
Original: Rappiostriimi päättyi suomalaismiehen putoamiseen parvekkeelta Lokakuun alussa tapahtunut onnettomuus on vakavimpia, joi
A Finnish man fell from a balcony in Kirkkonummi in early October during a so-called rappiostriimi, a livestream in which the host drinks heavily on camera. Finnish media report it as one of the most serious accidents to occur in this genre of streaming. Police are involved and the incident has prompted discussion about the safety and ethics of broadcasting extreme intoxication online.
Why now: A severe injury during a livestreamed drinking session has drawn attention to the dangers of the trend.
