A hero.
Praying for both of them.
this wouldn`t have happened.
Sounds like he is the hero. She either had an accident or was unstable.
That’s the way the ball bounces...
No, the action of the other spectator would only result in serious damage to himself, if not death.
No way he was going to let her die, and no way he was not going to get himself seriously injured stopping her.
Very noble of him to try, but there’s no way you can catch a 120 pound woman falling at ~60 ft/second. That is a huge amount of energy to absorb.

The 61-year-old Stockton man, a Marine Corps veteran, was on the second deck concourse level when he noticed the woman above, and repeatedly shouted, "don't do it," Nelson said.
No good deed goes unpunished. Prayers up for both of them; for him for his effort to save her, and for her that whatever demons caused her action be exorcised.

Marine veteran who saved woman who jumped from stadium says he had no fear
EXCERPT:
“I just wished I would’ve grabbed her and held on to her,” Navidad said. “I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t do anything.”
The 61-year-old Marine Corps veteran was hospitalized overnight and was recuperating from a severely bruised arm at his home in Stockton.
“He simply saved her life,” Alameda County sheriff’s Sgt. J.D. Nelson said. “Otherwise, she’d be dead.”
