During the 7th inning of Tuesdays Colorado Rockies game, Robert Seamans, 27, attempted to slide down the railing of a staircase at Coors Field when he lost his balance and fell 20 feet, hiting his head on the concrete. About 12 hours after his accident he was declared braindead.

The team released the following statement:
“Our thoughts and prayers remain with the family and friends of this young man as we all grieve for his loss.”

Jason Giambi also spoke out on the matter:
“You definitely don’t want somebody’s experience at the ballpark to be something like that. It’s supposed to be uplifting and an enjoyment for the fans. That’s a terrible thing to hear.”

It is tragic, and our condolences go out to Robert’s family and friends. Unfortunately us fans hear about this stuff way to often and it goes to show that accidents can happen anywhere when you least expect it. Please be smart about the decisions you all make, not only at ballparks, but everywhere.
