A rappelling protester fell two stories from the roof of the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco Wednesday, two days before the Olympic Games begin in Beijing and amid worldwide protest against China’s human rights record in Tibet.
San Francisco police and the State Department are conducting a joint investigation into the incident, including claims that the protester’s ropes may have been intentionally cut.

2. she was injured... and lucky to be alive more:

SAN FRANCISCO—A pro-Tibet female protester who climbed onto the roof of the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco on Wednesday. Aug. 6 to stage a mock hanging to protest the Chinese regime’s treatment of Tibetans fell when her suspension ropes were allegedly cut by consulate personnel.

Two students, Nyendak Wangden, 22, and Brianne Morgan, 26, scaled to the roof of the Chinese Consulate during a peaceful pre-Olympics demonstration in support of Tibet. Staging a mock hanging, Wangden hung suspended a few feet from the roof on climbing ropes. She wore a black monk’s robe and held a sign that read “Stop the killing in Tibet!”

Morgan tended Wangden’s ropes when she said she was attacked by a member of the Chinese Consulate security who allegedly cut the anchor ropes which caused Wangden’s fall from more than 15 feet off the building.
