Supporter falling from upper tier in block C

Anyone else see/hear about this? I know a few boozy lads that saw it and a steward said it was a pretty nasty incident and the person was in a bad way.

Apparently going mental when Reading equalised although I thought they were mostly Arsenal in the Club Wembley seats.

I've only heard about it from posts on here. Was he in the front row of the top tier and went over the edge kind of thing? Hope the guy is ok.

Had a scout around for any posts on the subject. Whereabouts are they?

Nothing to do with Club Wembley.
A supporter at the back of the Lower Tier block 113/114 climbed on the barrier for the concourse entrance whilst celebrating, and fell over into it head first.

I didn't see it personally, but others around me did. I did see the police tape off the concourse entrance. They also went to speak to those fans stood nearby, presumably to confirm that it was an accident rather than someone pushing him over.

Saw him land from in the concourse. I heard off the stewards and police he was in the middle tier.

When he landed his head kinda snapped into the ground and I know he was unconscious for a bit. Heard from a steward he was awake when being taken away and they weren't too worried about him in terms of life threatening injuries.

It was about a 2.5m drop as PO describes, not a ~10m drop from Club Wembley. Awful lot of blood and not something I'd want to go through but as stated, nothing to worry about long term.

Could someone please post a crudely drawn diagram of where he fell from, his movement through the air and how he landed?

Charlie Watts posted a link on twitter to the story, not much details other than he was flown by air ambulance to hospital with non life threatening head and back injuries.

Edit, found the link
