Very sad... Only a freshman and a champion gymnast. The poles were greased to prevent this type of behavior.

Immature pre-frontal cortex. Bad decision making.

The entire Philadelphia sports fan base is a collective candidate for a Darwin Award.

Actually the poles were not greased this time. The new Mayor said she had confidence in Philadelphians to behave properly.

No event in gymnastics for grease pole climbing. Kid was probably under the influence of some drug or drugs.
Too stupid to handle himself. Sad. But true.

In honor of his memory, the Mayor of Philadelphia will award a scholarship to the first Philadelphian who can correctly spell “Eagles”.

University students do stupid stunts. Our university near here lad a male student fall to his death when he was climbing from one floor to another outside the windows.

Falling from a light pole

The second you gave up what will be your last voluntary act.

“he was majoring in exercise and sports science”

Well, here’s the problem. Anyone stupid enough to major in exercise and sports science, ain’t too frigging smart.
