Comments on: Mets Fan Falls To Death At Shea Stadium

That is all it takes is one second of loosing touch with reality,and your gone.I have sympathy for his family,and friends.A little fun can turn deadly in a blink of an eye.It doesn''t take much as we get older to forget we are not that young anymore and we can loose our balance more easily.

You''d swear you morons had a vested financial interest in the lawsuits(the Mets are going to raise prices all they want lawsuit or no--and you''ll take it). I think its because you guys would just hate to see another little guy''s family get rich(er) than
you(rs), gasp, undeservedly. It really comes off that way.

How about some plain ole sympathy and sorrow JUST BECAUSE someone died. In front of his two young daughters. Regardless or whether he was "acting a little foolish" or not, someone died. Surely ye have no souls.....

By the way, this is a comments forum. I don''''t know where the condolence forum is. You folks that have a problem with the truth must go there if you don''''t like truthful comments here.

I thought "condolences" were comments too.

In Kindergarten, on a field trip to an airport (circa 1978, long before terrorists got creative), I fell down an escalator. Only a cut in the arm.

My condolences to his surviving family.

And to those who are belittling him or, worse, his family; go away. Wasn''t much different back in 1978, but that''s understandable -- society''s problems, hate to say it but it''s ironic, began with the 1960s and tolerating misbehavior, the spike in teen pregnancies, making light of death (this one being far worse in the mid-1980s), and so on. It''s a good reminder, people telling others how their crass attempts at jokes make them sick. We all need it every once in a while... and it is sick.

poor guy

I am sure the Mets may through the family a bone. Other then that it looks like he got what he asked for.

If they sue and I am on the jury they get what he got. Nothing!

hopefully escalators won''''t be installed in the new stadium since some people don''''t know how to "walk" down them.

I could not disagree more, Why should all be inconvenienced, especially the older folks and younger children who have trouble with stares. There will always be folks who like to horse around and have to learn the hard way not to. This fool found out the hard way but now his family suffers because of his foolishness.

They''re called gravity and potential energy. If he had lowered his potential energy by walking down the escalator, like a normal person, then gravity wouldn''t have had to teach him a lesson.
