Your mom always told you that spitting was a filthy habit. Turns out it may also be a deadly one.

A 29-year-old Swiss man demonstrated this earlier in the week when he plummeted to his death during a spitting contest with a friend.

The man plunged 6.4 meters off a hotel room balcony after taking a run-up in order to get extra distance on his loogie. The not-so-strategic move caused him to lose his balance and fall to the street below. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he died from his injuries.

The two spitters had been in a disco in the Italian-speaking part of the Swiss town of Cadempino, and had come up with the idea for the spitting contest after returning home. They were with a third friend, who went to bed instead of competing.
