Kendall Wernet, 20, who was originally from South Carolina, was with a group of about five who climbed the mast on the ship, The Ecstasy, and sat there for about 45 minutes talking about life and their future. One person in the group said no drinking had been involved.

Wernet was standing when a radar dish on the restricted platform started to rotate, Steve Acorn, a mentor who was with the group, told the station. The student was knocked over to the runner's track below

When you are in your 20s you are immortal and not subject to the laws of physics.

I know because I once was and was...

It is a blessing from God I had a Guardian Angel b/c there are several things I did that should have ended up with me dead or badly injured...

Prayers for this child and his family — even Guardian Angels can only do so much.

“He was the kind of guy, that if you had a daughter, you’d want him to marry her,”

Well, if the radar had not knocked him off his perch it might well have fried his ‘nads so he likely could not have fathered any children.

Most of us do stupid dangerous things when we are kids, and most of us get away with it. The only ones I know that didn’t do stupid dangerous things were the very timid who were afraid to take a risk.

I fell out of a truck window going about 50 mph onto the highway head first did several high speed somersaults before coming to a stop. My clothes were in tatters and I was scraped up but I walked away. I was about 21, and yes I was drunk as hell. My being drunk and stupid caused the whole thing.

Guardian angel? Yes, I do believe in them.

So he was high on Ecstasy when he fell?

What are the odds that the relatives of this dead buffoon will be suing the cruise line because it failed to prevent the buffoon from climbing the mast and killing himself?

He was ashamed to have been surprised by a robot dish, so he committed suicide by leaping from a secure, safe platform.

so true... and i imagine he was one of those who were timid and did not usually take these kinds of risks, but for this one time... this is so sad... awful...

Well your daughter would have a “Radar Lover”.

I did a WHOLE lot of stupid stuff when I was young. And then to top it off I joined the Marine Corps.
