Man dies after 'planking' on a balcony and falling seven floors

It all started as a harmless prank, but the 'planking' craze has now claimed a life in Australia.

Planking, which is very popular in Australia, involves people lying flat on their stomachs in often strange and, sometimes, dangerous settings and then posting photographs on the internet.

Queensland state police Deputy Commissioner Ross Barnett said the dead man, who was in his 20s, fell seven floors from an apartment balcony railing while a friend photographed him before dawn in Brisbane city.
