MISSION VIEJO – A 14-year-old boy who was skateboarding on the gym roof at Trabuco Hills High School fell 40-feet when he stepped on a skylight Sunday afternoon, authorities said.
The teen managed to move 40-yards across the gym floor where he landed to open a door and get help from his friends, said Orange County Sheriff's Deputy Darren Sandberg.
The boy had fractured his right wrist, ribs, pelvis, and had a bruise to his right lung.
The boy and three friends were on the roof to skateboard when the accident happened.
The teens climbed up the lifeguard tower onto a nearby roof and crossed two buildings to get to the gym. Sandberg said he has responded at least twice to the site in response to reports of skateboarding on the roof.
At least that kid won't ever have to worry about taking an AP test there.
