UT fan falling from upper deck? (Merged)

[Escape Goat]

I pray to god this is not true...

Same here. It did happen. Very sad news. Fell 35 ft. Prayers to him, and the person who he landed on.

 

[eVOLve]

That horrible. Stadium seating is horrible though.

20 year old man.

 

[Orlando Vol]

Just reported on ESPN...

 

[16thStreetVol]

Wow that's horrible. Just heard the confirmation on TV.

 

[YankeeVol]

It was bad. I was trying to help

 

[Honky]

My buddy just texted me when it happened and said someone fell from upper deck onto their leve, 10 rows in front of him.

 

[FightingScott]

20 year old man.

Well, better a strapping young lad than some old person, hopefully he'll recover well and quickly.

 

[DocVol]

Sad. Same thing happened at the Texan's Reliant Stadium yesterday where the fan died.

Drunks and ledges do not mix. Been to the Dome before, and cretins is an appropriate term for some of their "security", who should have spotted a potential situation like this.

 

[Velo Vol]

How do you fall 35 feet and not be badly hurt?

It was a 20 year old. He wasn't drunk

It's more than 35 feet

I'm 20 years old and I've been drunk a time or twenty.

Apparently the guy is badly hurt. All depends on how and on what you land on.

 

[Mid TN Vol Fan]

Hope everyone will be ok, prayers sent.

 

[SandoVOL]

dangett Mo. So there were three people injured? or just two?

 

[Velo Vol]

He wasn't drunk

Did someone push him?

 

[windyvol]

Never understood why stadiums don't have a net coming out 3 or 4 feet to keep this from happening.
