Fan critically hurt after falling from stands at MLB game

This is a terrible thing to see and a terrible thing to happen... A fan fell from the stands at a major league baseball game and was critically hurt.

It happened at Pittsburgh’s PNC Park. He fell over the outfield wall and onto the track during yesterday’s game between the Pirates and Cubs.

In the seventh inning, a man in the right-field bleachers fell headfirst over the outfield wall. The person appeared to jump up before flipping forward multiple times on his way down to the warning track. In total, the fall was about 21 feet.

The fan was motionless for several minutes as players and officials started to realize what had happened.

After being tended to for about five minutes, the fan was loaded onto a stretcher and taken off the field and to a local hospital. He was seen with blood on his face, and first responders continued to treat him as they drove off. Later, he was said to be in critical condition. Pittsburgh Police VCU detectives are currently investigating.

The fall was actually captured on video... it’s just terrible.
