Pittsburgh Pirates Fan Jumps Off Bridge to Celebrate Wild-Card Victory
If your dumb friend jumped off a bridge, would you do it, too?
The answer is “no.” No, you would not. But if they’re dead set on it...well, it’s a difficult thing to stop.
No one was going to deny one Pittsburgh Pirates fan, who stripped down to his skivvies and jumped off the Roberto Clemente Bridge to celebrate his team’s 6-2 wild-card victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
Luckily for the Internet, any time there’s a moron doing something dangerous and inadvisable, there’s always at least one guy with a camera phone standing by to record the action.
Footage of the jump was picked up by Joe Student of Busted Coverage (via@RealTaylorGang), who accurately points out that this is an act of complete lunacy.
Judging from all the screams telling “Dean” not to jump, this man had his mind made up long before he clambered over the railing.
David Brown of Yahoo! Sports reports that the jumper is a man named Dean Pasztorfrom Shadyside, Ohio. Judging from this picture he posted to Twitter, he was uninjured after falling into the water.
