They are trying to contain people - nothing more.

You know the last thing to go through his mind?

His butt.

“He’s a young kid...he’s a good kid,” she added. “They weren’t drinking or anything. They were taking a picture.”

This kid was not the innocent victim of an unfortunate accident. He was trespassing, and had to make a real effort to get into that shaft and climb the scaffolding. I realize this is a real tragedy for his family, however, he put foolishly himself into a position that cost him his life. I just wonder if the family will now try to sue the hotel.

Whatever happened to being able to explore?

[BenLurkin]

Or his heels.

I know that as NY runs out of money the amenities offered are being reduced; maybe this is their solution to deal with reduced staff. I know one of the lakes that had been heavily damaged in Hurricane Irene years ago still hasn’t re-opened - and probably never will.

Enjoy the Fall at The Four Seasons

It should be American’s right to go as they please and look at what they like and use areas as long as they don’t belong to a private citizen, in which case permission would be required.

The government thinks they’re the lords of the lands it would seem.

[kearnyirish2]

I agree (with the added stipulation that they can’t expand a free rescue if it goes south).

[Gay State Conservative]

They say it’s not the *fall* that kills ya,it’s the sudden stop at the end.

It had a 40 story interior atrium with a bar on the open lounge floor at its base. As I recall, a 40 something decided to commit suicide by jumping from one of the higher floor interior balconies

I was a kid in 1950s NYC and one time heard of someone who was about 10 stories up, threatening to jump. From what I understand, we hadn't sunk to the level of the crowd shouting "Jump! Jump!", but all those who had cars parked in the landing area rushed over and moved them to a safer place. The Daily News tut-tutted and called them "stone-hearted".

Dunno if the guy ever did follow through.
