In Magalluf there have been no cases of 'balconing' injuries this summer, and Calvia town hall, hoteliers and the British consulate are determined that the season will end without there having been any and without any attempt at climbing from one balcony to another.

If somehow balconing is stopped, the idiots will find another outlet for their stupidity. Better to attack the root stimulus which is drink and drugs. Tighter controls on under-age drinking, drinking to excess, availability of drugs and so on. It's a longer term solution but the sooner it's started, the sooner normal service can be resumed.
Jeremy Ponsenby-SmytheExactly. The adaptable, quick and clever survive. Those in this case use corridors provided.
I think its just a form of natural selection.
Perhaps there needs to be a distinction made in your reporting in falls from balconies. One: jumping across balconies is balconing. Two: otherwise falling from a balcony is because the balcony rail/wall height is far too low, badly constructed and doesn’t meet any safety standards. ( if there were any). Either way there have been quite a few balcony related accidents and deaths this year. Certainly more than one MDB!
