    Fan falls to death at Texans stadium in Houston

    http://sports.yahoo.com/news/fan-fal...8462--nfl.html


    HOUSTON (AP) -- A 25-year-old fan died after tumbling off an escalator from the fifth to ground floor while attending a preseason Houston Texans' game at Reliant Stadium, city police said Friday.

    The man fell during the Thursday game between the Texans and the Minnesota Vikings, Reliant Stadium officials said in a statement.
    Houston Police Department spokesman John Cannon said he could not identify the man until his family had been informed. He said the circumstances of the fall and what the man was doing at the time were still under investigation. The fan fell from the fifth-floor escalator to the ground floor, Cannon said.
    ''He was transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital after we had had some fans get the attention of some Houston police officers who were nearby where the body fell,'' Cannon said.

    Police consider the death accidental, Cannon said.
    The Houston Medical Examiner's Office confirmed in an email Friday that it had received the body. The medical examiner's website said the man died in a Houston emergency room.

    really sad

    i was nearby when a similar incident happened at miller park, a person (that had been drinking) was riding up the handrail of the escalator and leaning back against a concrete wall. the wall stopped halfway up, and he fell straight backward on his head.

    i didn't see it happen but i was over there a minute later and you wouldn't believe how much blood there was

    was this after the game was over?

    most stadiums shut down the escalators when people are leaving

    It happened as the 3rd quarter was wrapping up. You had 3 intoxicated guys fooling around. One of them tried to ride the railing and failed, so another tried. He rode for about 3 seconds and fell backwards.

    The ironic thing is he was wearing the Texans T-Shirt from last season that said "next man up"

    The ppl on here making fun of this kid who died are assholes. Regardless if he was drunk or what, it is sad. Think before you post. How would you feel if that were your son?
