A fan fell to his death Friday night while trying to do a flip on the balcony at Citi Field stadium at a Dead & Company concert in New York.

During intermission at around 9 pm, the man, a Brooklyn resident in his 40s, fell about 30 to 50 feet landing on concrete, police said. First responders said they were called to the scene at 9:05 pm and found the man injured apparently from a fall.

A fan in a tie-dye tank top told The Post, 'I heard people going 'ahhh' and see people running. I said 'bro, someone took a f—ing header.'

Police sources said the man was possibly under the influence when he attempted the fatal flip on the fifth floor.

Did you keep the Frisbee?

But was he wearing his mask and did he get the chemical injections to keep everyone “safe”? Everyone except himself apparently.

The Dead (the real ones) put on a free concert next to the Willamette in Eugene one day while I was at U of O, I think it was 1974 or 1975. It was a nice day, so I went for a bicycle ride instead. Never went to a Dead show anywhere else, either.

That wouldn’t be right. You’re supposed to keep it going. Kinda cool....giant beach-balls and Frisbees flying around the Tangerine Bowl.

I will not mention Darwin and the gene pool.

Ian Hunter?

I was at PNC Park some years ago when we had a giant beach ball going. Lots of fun, especially when you have a AAA team like the Pirates hosting a major league baseball team.

At 40 years old, odd are pretty good he's already tainted the gene pool.

Hold muh beer and watch this!

[BenLurkin]

I think it was Santana, but maybe not.

fatal flip on the fifth floor

I like the alliteration. It could have been even better, though.

"Fan in 40s fails fatal flip on fifth floor."

Or

"F***ed up fat fan in 40s fails fatal flip on fifth floor fabulously."

[SIDENET]

“F***ed up fat fan in 40s fails fatal flip on fifth floor fabulously, falls fifty feet.”

As with most Darwin awards it will be awarded to him posthumously.

[gundog]

Did it land on the field?

[Vigilanteman]

Eventually made it to the cheap seats in the upper deck of right field and disappeared over the wall. We get windy days here in the ‘burgh.

[Steven Tyler]

It was the covid that killed him

[texanyankee]

Gravity is a killer.
