The man who collapsed 21 feet from the stands at Pittsburgh's PNC Park to the warning truck Wednesday night was in danger, officials said.
The incident took place at the bottom of seven innings on the right field, known as the Clemente Wall, in honor of Roberto Clemente. This guy seemed to cheer Pirates star Andrew McCutchen's two-run double, turning the guardrail over and turning it towards the ground. He lay on his back for the medical professional to hurry up and attend him.

“In seven innings of the match at PNC Park tonight, an adult man fell from the correct field breaker to the field of play,” the Pirates said in a statement.
“The Pittsburgh EMS, the Pirates and Cubs training team and other PNC Park staff responded and managed care. He was taken to Allegheny General Hospital. There is no further information at this time.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.”
Pittsburgh Public Safety later issued a statement about X.
“Pittsburgh Police VCU Detectives are investigating after a man fell 20 feet after falling into the field of play from the bleachers at PNC Park during a game of @Pirates,” officials said.
“The EMS Field Medic in Pittsburgh treated him on the scene until he was taken to hospital in danger.”

Pirates manager Derek Shelton and Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsel were among those who warned the judges about the situation in the play.
“Even if it's 350 feet away, it means how it went down, the fact that the play lies still motionless while it's going. Craig means that he saw it. “I think the judge saw it because of the way it got kicked. It's very unfortunate. That's an understatement.”
The Cubs players were among those on their knees as they saw the man being placed on their backboard and medical cart.
“Nothing happened, but when he came out on the field I saw (the counsel)'s face, and I can say it was a very scary moment,” Cubs star Dansby Swanson said. “All we could do was pray for a good, strong recovery for him and his family. I had not been part of that before.
“This is a humble reminder that we are all grateful that we have to play this game. People are clearly coming out to support us. They are a big reason why we can do what we can. It's obviously difficult.

“I really hate what happened tonight,” he wrote. “Thinking about that guy, his family, or his friends won't help you. Pray for him tonight. Think of his loved ones, and hold your family a little tighter tonight. I hope he will pull.
