A 35-year-old fan suffered broken bones and other injuries last night when he fell from a concourse ramp inside Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium after the Washington Nationals baseball game, authorities said.

The man was "horsing around" with friends on the ramp on the south side of the stadium near Gate A when he fell at least 20 feet about 9:30 p.m., said Tony Robinson, a spokesman for the D.C. Sports and Entertainment Commission, which oversees RFK.

I've spent years going up and down those ramps, and how you could manage to fall off one is beyond me. The guy must have been very drunk and very stupid. But I hope he recovers quickly. :-/

eek. I didn't know that. Maybe that's what the emergency vehicle was doing outside after the game...
