Thread: Rangers fan falls from 2nd deck

Wow. I am watching the Rangers/Indians game, and a fan in the second deck was reaching over for a foul ball and fell to the first deck. They didn't show it on TV, but they stopped the game for paramedics to check on him, and he just got carried out on a stretcher. More to come as they have updates.

probably paralyzed.

ouch, that had to hurt.......did he catch the ball at least?

Some bastard probably ran up and took it from him before the paramedics

Dude, I bet you would have time to shit your pants, brush your teeth, say a prayer, and eat lunch by the time you hit the 1st deck.

I wonder what he thought about.

Probably landing.

I think he fell from the suites, so probably 15-20 feet or so.

Ouch. Dude is probably going to be a bit messed up. I hope he is OK.

A close friend of mine went down 28 feet, off of a roof a few years ago. A punctured lung (one of his ribs went through it),a punctured heart (same thing,different rib),the other lung collapsed,two broken vertibrae (no damage to spinal column),and a respectable concussion. When they wheeled him into the Emergency room,they gave him less than 1% chance to make it through the night. Three months worth of induced coma and another month and a half in ICU, he walked out of the hospital. Six months later,and he was dragging deer out of the woods.

Yeah, the scary part is his possible landing spots are concrete, seats, or on other people. From the looks of it nobody else was injured though.
