GRAZ, Austria - A man who claimed he was Superman and could fly was hospitalized early Tuesday after leaping from a fourth-floor window, authorities said.

Paramedics rushed the 23-year-old man to a hospital in the city of Graz, about 120 miles south of Vienna, after he jumped from a window and suffered head and back injuries, police said.

They said the man — who apparently had drunk several bottles of red wine before attempting the jump — appeared at the window ledge at around 4 a.m. and shouted: "I am Superman! Nothing can happen to me!"

The jumper, whose name was not released, landed on part of a lower section and roof, sparing him from more serious injuries, authorities said

He forgot to attach a tablecloth cape before attempting the jump - an obvious mistake probably caused by so many bottles of wine.

The tablecloth was weighed down by all the bottles of wine.

I'm just picturing the guy saying "I am Superman! Nothing can hurt me" and leaping and he sounds just like Arnold.

I'm picturing his buddies sitting back and giggling their rear ends off!

"Dude! This is gonna be siiiiiick!"
