Paul Steinbach Headshot

A 42-year-old man is in critical condition after falling 21 feet from an escalator Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Few details exist as to what factors may have contributed to the incident, which occurred at about 4 p.m. after the New York Giants rallied to defeat the Washington Redskins, 27-23.

It was the second escalator fall this season. In August, 25-year-old Jonathan Kelly fell three stories from an escalator at Reliant Stadium in Houston and died at a local hospital. He was believed to be attempting to slide down the escalator's rail, the same type of action that claimed the life of Robert Seamans, 27, at Denver's Coors Field in May 2011.
