Though rare, falls from seating areas in stadiums have most often involved professional venues with upper decks, escalators or railed-off areas safeguarding some other drop-off of significant distance. On Saturday, Broken Arrow (Okla.) High School confirmed the death of junior Jaymeson West, who fell from the top of the school’s football stadium after a game Friday night.

According to the Tulsa World, West fell immediately after the game as many fans were exiting the stadium. As of Friday night, with detectives and crime scene investigators present, police said they believed the fall was an accident. West, a saxophone player in the Pride of Broken Arrow band, was transported from the scene by emergency responders to a local hospital.
