Another arena, another fall

Apparently, someone fell or jumped from the upper level into a lower level section at MSG during a Goose concert tonight. People are saying it was a pretty grim scene.
Sounds very similar to what happened at a Phish show in San Francisco about five years ago.
From all the years I worked shows and saw firsthand how crazy people get I've always been amazed that this type of thing doesn't happen more often, and I have seen a lot of emergencies over the years, but something like this only a handful of times.
Be careful out there folks.

I will never forget being in
I will never forget being in the balcony at that Warfield Phil show and watching the guy go over the rail and crash into the crowd below. An ugly event.

I haven't really been
I haven't really been following the story, but because it happened in New York City it keeps getting talked about; from possibly unsubstantiated reports the guy didn't fall, he dove head first.
If that's true it's just like the guy at Chase Center, just like Yossarian at the Warfield, and has to be doubly heartbreaking for his family.

Irresponsible or frivolous use of serious drugs is bad, uum'kay?
I do believe that is more accurate, but it just doesn't have the same jocular bounce.
Whatever happened, it sounds like he was a good guy with a good job and a fine family; he and his wife were celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary at the show.
As an old work partner of mine used to say, things can go from sugar to shit in the blink of an eye.
Be careful out there.
On it goes.
