The 610 report said that he was horsing around, trying to slide down the handrail on the escalator... smh, sad news.
So what? You're saying he deserved what he had coming to him? Sure he was horsing around, but c'mon man.
It sucks because you know there were kids who saw this. Hell, if I saw something like this it would mess me up.
I agree. What he was doing was stupid but I sure feel sorry. He probably had a family, had kids. Imagine as a kid your dad goes to the Texans games with some buds and never comes back in a freak accident.
Yeah I thought this too. I feel bad for those who had to see it. I've also never seen a 45 year old man horsing around trying to slide down a rail. Usually they're the ones getting grumpy about seeing kids to that.
I guess he landed on his neck or head. A fifteen feet fall couldn't kill you otherwise. Not a good way to end the Texans game.
Man falls to his death at Vikings v. Texans game. A 45-year old man attending the Texans preseason finale against the Minnesota Vikings fell to his death while horse-playing on an escalator at the Coca-Cola Gate near the northeast side of Reliant Stadium. He was allegedly trying to slide down the outside of the handrail on the escalator when he fell three stories, landing on the pavement, police said.
