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.

Sad. Without practice in a gym, a flip outdoors usually leads to trouble. Stadium upper decks are steep.
He’s dumb enough to be a Democrat voter
I’m having trouble picturing this. Don’t they have high railings in the upper decks at stadiums, which would create a barrier to someone falling? Did he climb a barrier ?
Is a f#;#;! Header a common occurrence? Common enough that there is a name for it?
At age 40 he has probably already reproduced. Thus, he is ineligible.
Hold my beer....

“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.”
I was at a concert at the philly “spectrum”, forget the band. People were throwing quarter sticks in the air over the premium seating. I was never so glad to be in the cheap seats.
Flipping on the 5th, sends you to Heaven on the 7th
Where they selling those in the lobby?
Thank you Lord, for not making me be the one to die stupidly today.
“Where they selling those in the lobby?”
On the street. It was less than six months to go to the 4th, or New Year’s.
Quarter sticks- jeez…
So the group that he came to the concert with now consists of the dead and company
LOL
Ah, the city of brotherly love. Nobody else makes New York fans seem mellow and polite by comparison . . .
