During the New York Yankees and Atlanta Braves game on Saturday, 60 year old, Gregory K. Murray, has lost his life. He was yelling at Alex Rodriquez, losses his balance, and fell from the upper deck and landed 50 feet down on cement, striking a railing on the way down. He had received emergency medical assistance at the scene then taken on a stretcher to the hospital. Later that night, he was pronounced dead. Greg was always heard to be a valued fan and a longtime season-ticket holder for the Braves.
Questions-
1. What would your reaction be if you were in the lower deck and this guy fell close to you?
2. What would you do/think if you were in the same section as Greg?

Good job overall but the questions you pose do make it difficult for different opinions.
I guess he probably learned his lesson to keep to himself without taunting others. If I was sitting around this man and he was yelling so loud he fell from the platform then I assume the people around him were probably glad he wasn't being such a loudmouth [after he fell]. After that initial reaction, they were probably genuinely concerned with his well-being. This is a very weird accident considering many large baseball stadiums have railings to prevent things like this from happening. I hope people can learn from this and think about the consequences.
I probably would have freaked out a little. That's such a horrible way to go especially at age 60.
I would freak out. i think it would be the not knowing what happened after he fell.
I would immediately look up to make sure he is the only one falling, then i would go help the man. My initial thought would be that he is dead but you should still make sure and if he has a pulse do whatever you can to help him.
I would have freaked out, seeing a guy fall from the deck above me. It would have been a very graphic scene and probably very gruesome. I probably would try to help the guy even though there isn't that I could do being that I am no doctor.
This story is pretty crazy. I don't think there's much any of the other fans could do. I mean someone on the upper level could have TRIED to catch him, but i think it happened way to fast for people to react. I would go over to him right after he fell to try and help...no matter how little I could actually do.
If I was in the lower deck and this guy fell I would be terrified. I would probably scream for help, but I don't think I would actually know what to do. All I would really think of doing is screaming for help and for someone to call the ambulance.
I would do everything I could for him, but I would probably be more shocked than anything. But also, like at least he died doing what he loves.
I would be so scared, and try to somehow get help right away! If I was in the same section as Greg, I would be so scared, and freaked out! I would probably be in shock, and feel super bad for him. I do not know if I would be able to look down to see where he fell.
