They say nothing in life comes free. Unfortunately, this Aussie man learnt this the hard way when his attempt to sneak into a strip club landed him in hospital.
According to 7news.com.au, the unnamed man attempted to scale a wall to get into The Palace on Hindley Street in Adelaide in the early hours of Monday morning.
The well-known club bills itself as an adult entertainment venue.
Footage obtained by 7news shows him climbing up a pipe and onto a balcony. In an instant, he loses his grip and falls 7m to the ground.
An ambulance treated him at the scene, and he was transported to the Royal Adelaide Hospital with a broken arm and bruising.
The guy’s epic fail at attempting a Spider-man feat even managed to draw a crowd.
“Stop, he’s gonna fall,” someone can be heard saying in the video.

According to witnesses on the scene, he had a lucky escape - had he fallen a few centimetres to the right, a pole lying in proximity could have done serious damage.

But if you thought he was having a bad day, spare a thought for Texas dancer Genea Sky who went viral in February last year. She was recorded while falling from a 4.5m pole and breaking her jaw.
While clamouring up a pole, it appears she lost her balance and comes tumbling down – smack bang onto the floor.
Amazingly, she managed to carry on dancing and even throw in some twerking moves.
