Despite safety measures, stadium falls occur

The upper-level platform from where 30-year-old Ronald Homer fell into the player's parking lot at Monday night's game is seen at Turner Field, Tuesday, Aug. 13, 2013, in Atlanta. It was at least the third time a sports fan has fallen from a stadium in Atlanta in the past year. Homer fell more than 60 feet (18 meters) from the upper levels of Turner Field onto a parking lot on Monday night. At least four witnesses told police that no one else was standing near him when he fell over a fourth-level railing into a parking lot for players. Homer's death appeared to be an accident, authorities said.
