You're Better Off In Uecker Seats

They're slowly piecing together what happened with the fan who fell from the upper deck at the Georgia Dome onto another fan and to his death during the Tennessee-N.C. State football game, and they don't know if it was alcohol-related or not. One thing to remember: When they say how the railing met International Building Code requirements, you should be aware that those requirements aren't much of a hurdle, so to speak. The rail would come up to about mid-thigh, which wouldn't necessarily prevent an accident, alcohol or not. It might not have been like the guy in Houston who foolishly tried to ride the rail down a steep escalator and fell 200 feet. It might be more like the poor guy who fell reaching for a ball at the Texas Rangers game, a horrible accident.
