Vans Warped Tour stage dive goes wrong

The Vans Warped Tour was briefly shut down after a stage jump went dramatically wrong during the Sunday afternoon (17.11.13) of the event. A Gigwise reviewer attending the Alexandra Palace event reports that the event was halted after a stage stunt by George Watsky went wrong. He climbed onto the lighting rigging during his performance and attempted to dive into the audience from some 10 metres above the stage. The audience reportedly parted, and Watsky fell to the floor, suffering unknown injuries although he later discharged himself from hospital.  A female member of the audience was left with a broken arm after the accident. Another man was injured. In an the video from the show (link below), George Watsky can be seen high above the audience before his jump. Shortly afterwards, the show resumed. The rapper later apologised for his "stupid and irresponsible" stunt at the London show.

And in the USA - a Buffalo Bills fan 'fell' from an upper from the Upper Deck of the Ralph Wilson stadium onto fans below - again amazingly - it seems no serious injuries. The man who fell has a shoulder injury, the man he fell on a head injury: Video here http://www.aol.co.uk/video/buffalo-bills-fan-falls-from-upper-deck-into-crowd/518016428/
