College Student Hit By Mattress From Skyscraper

You know how they say not to drop pennies from skyscrapers? Well the same goes for mattresses, and here’s why.

A college freshman was back on his feet Wednesday — a day after a mattress fell 30 stories from a Manhattan building and landed on his head.

Jesse Scott Owen, 18, said his sense of humor helped him overcome the neck and back pain he suffered from the futon mattress, which knocked him out cold on Broad St. about 12:45 p.m. Tuesday.
