49er fan falls and dies

Yesterday at the San Fransisco-Minnesota game a man fell to his death.  According to ESPN, he was in the concession area and tried to jump on a ledge to sit.  He misjudged his jump and fell about twenty feet to his death. The wall area was only four feet high and six inches wide.  It was also sloped so it would be hard to sit on.  Paramedics worked on him for about a half hour, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.  After investigation it has been treated as an accident.
