A hero.

Praying for both of them.

If Oakland had passed a law prohibiting 3rd-deck jumping,

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.

This idiot sure put the good Samaritan in a terrible situation.

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 hero is a vet:

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.

A fan that was walking along the concourse about 60-feet below saw it happen and tried to catch her. But he was critically injured when she landed on him.

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.

HEADLINE:
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.”
