A 23-year-old woman from Mexico was attempting a dangerous yoga pose on the balcony of her high-rise apartment building when she suddenly lost her balance, plunging 80 feet to the ground below, People reported.
College student Alexa Terrazas miraculously survived the fall, but not without sustaining serious injuries.
In a viral photo of the yoga enthusiast, Terrazas can be seen hanging upside down with her body slung over the outer side of the rail while she supports herself with just her waist and her bent legs.
According to the Spanish news outlet El Sol de Mexico, the girl was practicing the dangerous pose on the sixth floor, which is the top floor of the Las Privanzas apartment tower.
She plummeted 80 feet to the ground below and was rushed to the Zambrano Hellion Medical Center.
She reportedly broke both her legs, and also suffered fractures to her arms, hips, and head. Some reports claim she broke 110 bones and had to undergo 11 hours of emergency surgery following the fall.
Doctors have said the college student will need to have her ankles and knees reconstructed, and recovery could take up to three years.
Their prayers have even been extended to social media, with one person on Twitter tweeting "Good morning, I ask that you channel your mind, energy and spirit for the health of my cousin Alexa Terrazas."
They specifically asked for those with A+ blood to donate.
Now they simply hope people will continue to send thoughts and prayers for Alexa's health.
Authorities have described the fall as an accident and confirmed that the balcony from which Terrazas hung was structurally sound and undamaged.
