NZPA-Reuter Tel Aviv An Israeli family had an unexpected week-end visitor: a 64-year-old parachutist who landed on their fourth-floor balcony. Mr Jerry Reinov was making his ninth free-fall jump over a Tel Aviv beach on Saturday when his parachute failed to open fully and winds blew him inland. “Then a miracle happened,” he told reporters. “My parachute lines caught hold on the edge of an apartment house roof, breaking my fall.” The parachutist, swinging along the side of the building, grabbed hold of a fourth-floor balcony railing and was pulled to safety.
