You won't die, but you will very likely break both of your legs and get arrested. In what has been a second round of bad press for the Galleria Mall in Houston, a man was attempting to elude mall police and jumped off.

Once he hit the ice, he picked up his phone to possibly contact a friend or family member, but could not move his legs. The man was allegedly running from law enforcement after stealing a pair of sunglasses.

Even if you didn't break your legs, without skates, jumping over 2 stories from that upper level to the ice for a pair of sunglasses is just insane. Once school let out in Houston, issues began to arise at the city's most desirable shopping and tourist attraction.

There have famously been three shootings in the Galleria's parking lot. There was a man firing shots at another car in the yellow garage, then a man was shot and killed in front of his fiancée and toddler in the orange garage.
