Did a fan just attempt to commit suicide at the Cubs/Pirates game?

I feel terrible that THIS was the first image that popped in my head. Very terrible.
Looks like he was not intending to fall on his head. Curious to know how much alcohol he had consumed.
also, the urge to jump is why I don’t sit in the upper deck at our games.

There are a couple of people to his right (left on the video) that jump with excitement at the same time. Seems like an accident to me.
Absolutely terrible.

If you slow the video down, you can see him step on the rail as he climbs over. Looks intentional to me.
If someone intended to kill themselces by jumping, I would think they would choose somewhere higher. That height seems like it could just at likely seriously injure as kill...depending on how you hit the ground.
Sucks to see and know.

I used to work for Weyerhaeuser as a Quality/Safety Engineer. For many years the required working height to be safety-harnessed was 8+ feet. After the company suffered some pretty serious fall injuries at lower heights, they reduced it to 4+ feet. They just don't willy-nilly make changes like that for no reason. After much study, it was found that very serious injuries including death could happen from 4 feet and higher.
Yall if I die from 4 feet, please lie and say it was higher
A Swan dive off El Capitan in Yosemite Vally would be quite impressive.
Don't underestimate consequences of bashing your skull from lower heights. I jumped out of the bed of my truck onto the wet concrete floor of my garage wearing a pair of crocs. My feet flew out from under me, and I landed flat on my back with my head slapping the concrete. After getting my head stapled back together and a quick CT scan the crocs were relegated to yard only duty.
Hope your boyfriend was able to help**
I knew a guy that slipped & died changing a lightbulb in his shower, was an extremely healthy & fit guy in his 30s. Told my wife to make up a lie if that ever happened to me.
I was at a Rangers game 15 years ago or so. Josh Hamilton threw a ball into the first row in left field and a fan that was a firefighter reached over the railing to catch it and fell about 15-18 feet and died. Pretty sure that MLB raised railing height minimums everywhere after that. Guy's 6 year old was next to him and that's obviously who the ball was for... Terrible.
Shirley you don't think alcohol played a hand in this? *****
I fell off a third story balcony once. Landed on a car hood headfirst. I had to pay for the damaged to the car. ***
Crocs are more slippery than snail snot when wet, but are the best for yard work and pi$$ing my wife and kids off when I need to do that.
There's never been a less heterosexual person on the planet... not that there's anything wrong with that.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I was wearing those things when I dropped the hook end of a large log chain on my foot. Had to wear a boot for a while because of that. Maybe I should toss them and look for some anti-slip steel toed crocs.
Are you saying there’s never been a less heterosexual person than you? Or than your boyfriend. Just trying to figure out your role in the relationship and whether that was a Freudian slip.
I figure a gif with a less heterosexual person would be an appropriate response to whatever it is you tried to post.
