A woman recently rented out her home in Malibu, California, for the weekend. The renters planned on using the beautiful beach house to host a birthday party.
However, the renters were told by the homeowner ahead of time not to throw parties there. And the maximum number of guests allowed inside the home was six.

Despite the rules laid out for them, the renters reportedly invited upward of 30 people to their party.
About 15 of them were hanging outside on the back deck — laughing and enjoying a beautiful, sunny Saturday — when they heard the sound of a loud crack.
Suddenly, the deck gave out, and the screaming guests plummeted 15 feet down onto the jagged rocks below.
Nine people were injured, but thankfully no one was in critical condition.
