Colorado State University student tries to jump into pool from 3 stories up on roof of apartment complex
12:37 AM, May 7, 2012

FORT COLLINS - A Colorado State University sophomore jumped from the roof of a Fort Collins apartment complex Saturday afternoon and landed on the concrete before his body rolled into the pool.

Ian Smith is in critical condition after video shows him jumping from the roof during an afternoon pool party.

His brother says Ian has broken ankles, broken heels and multiple broken vertebrae in his lower back.

"Ugh, it definitely made me sick," Brittany Polliard, who witnessed the jump, said. .......

It's called Natural Selection and it exists in nature just as it exists in our 21st century modern world. Before the advent of modern medicine these folks were fewer and far between because most wouldn't have survived. Now some human beings think if I just make it on YouTube and get to the hospital within the Golden Hour I'm good, unfortunately for some they don't even make it into the water.

The 24 hour "news" cycle happened to common sense. There was a day when we didn't hear about every bone-headed but insignificant event in this ever stupid world.
