Fan falls from upper deck into netting


Recommended Posts

During the game tonight vs. the White Sox, someone fell from the upper deck into the netting behind home plate. He climbed his way back up and was led away by security. A bit too much to drink perhaps?

I read that he jumped. He was with three friends and wanted to see if the netting could hold him so he jumped. Went to a hospital just to check out his neck and all and is probably going to be charged with reckless behavior, criminal tresspassing, and some other things I can't remember.

Idiot. You gotta come up with a story before you jump. Like "Hey guys, if this leads to cops being involved just say that I had my back to the railing and you tossed me my hat and it went over and I tried to get it, lost my balance and fell. Got it. Back, hat, balance, fell. Cool, Let's see what happens." Then jump.

lol, ip99, that story is a little TOO good. you've been thinkin of trying it at wrigley? ;)

crazy freakin people. he shoulda died...i hope he doesn't have kids.

/edit

i guess it wasn't much of a fall. only looks like it's a few feet. i was thinking much higher than that...

Wow. Someone had a little too much :beer:. Maybe it led to an :argue: with a friend in which he was told to jump off a cliff and he decided to do the next best thing. He deserves a :punch: and a :trout: for his stupidity. He also should get his head examined :doctor: .

I'm sorry. I was bored lol.

Well, Wrigley doesn't have the netting like Yankee Stadium though the OF basket that catches some HR was actually installed to keep fans from jumping onto the field. If you watch "This Old Cub" you can see archive footage from the '60 that show people sitting on the OF wall like their just sitting on a ledge. After some big wins they'd storm the field.

I actually thought of that story on the spot but it does seem like it might work. ESPN was reporting that it was a 40 foot drop so it's not really all that bad. Just don't think it would've been fun enough to warrant the potential penalty (fine and/or community service I'm guessing).

Has anyone else ever seen the video (I think it was Giants Stadium) where the guy jumps over the railing to catch the PAT or field goal that just went through the uprights?

He jumped over that railing, onto the concrete. He made the catch too if I'm not mistaken.

Now that's hardcore. Not this clown. I wish I could find the video...

can anyone explain the pic i posted?  did he jump from the next level up?

I don't know where he jumped from. They didn't catch him doing it in the game, but he landed half way down the net, so I believe it would have had to be from the upper deck to get that far out.

That was a classic! I remeber that and then they interviewed the guy later he was like, "I got great hands, I played football in school, I got great hands." Guy was a few sandwiches shy of a picnic and about 12 beers deep.

As for this kid, he's now off to the bighouse: Fan Arrested Day After a Plunge From Yankee Stadium Upper Deck

he actually jumped to see if the netting would hold his weight. thats what the news stations have been saying...not that he fell.

Nice logic: "I am not sure if it will hold me so I should try?" I wonder how long until he gets a Darwin Award.

Yeah he jumped from the upper deck. The netting connects to the railing at the loge level which is one level below so it was a decent fall. http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/...ing_pricing.jsp The diagram on the right shows a cross-section of the stands.

He, at first, crawled forward a little hoping he would go down the front but they yelled at him to go the other way. In the process of doing so, he almost backed right into the hole he created. They, again, had to yell at him to make him aware of the hole a foot or so behind him.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.
