Fan's fall from deck at Bills-Jets game on camera

AP CAROLYN THOMPSON
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- An unruly football fan who survived a fall from the top deck of Ralph Wilson Stadium onto a man below has been banned from the stadium and could face charges, officials said Monday.

Video from Sunday's game between the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets shows the fan sliding down the 300 level railing in a seated position before flipping backward and plummeting about 30 feet to the 200 level.

He and the man he landed on were treated inside the stadium before being taken to a hospital, where they were treated and released, authorities said.

Bills President and Chief Executive Russ Brandon called the fallen fan's behavior irresponsible and in violation of the fan code of conduct.

I enjoy the occasional game when friends are in town or I'm with them, but I'm not a huge fan of the sporting events.

People who act like fools drinking and fighting make it miserable for everyone else.

The poor soul could not have been very sober when he decided to take a slider down the rail.

Sad story all around.
