Hong Kong - A film fan ended up in hospital after trying to imitate Mary Poppins by leaping out of his second floor apartment window holding an umbrella, a news report said on Thursday.

The man, from Chongqing, western China, found that unlike in the Disney film the umbrella did not help him fly and he landed heavily, the South China Morning Post reported.

He later told police he decided to try the stunt because he feared his microwave oven was about to explode. - Sapa-dpa
