Sometimes, safe sex means checking the solidity of the ground you’re laying on.
The couple met on Friday night in Ciudad Real, a city in Castilla-La Mancha region of central Spain at a park where young people gather for outdoor drinking parties known as “el botellon”.
They found a quiet corner in the park to have sex but did not realise that their movements had dislodged a waterwheel well shaft cover and the woman, named locally as Edelia Aponte, 21, tumbled through the gap.
