8. They didn't appear to have any video of it happening
but the camera mounted behind the plate shook like a bastard when he landed.

3. I must be tired or something
I pictured a fan. Like one you use to keep cool. The kind you plug in.

Wugh.

9. That happened at a Rod Stewart concert
At the old Cleveland Manciple stadium...

The guy did on purpose...

He jumped into the screen and later commented that he wanted to feel what it was like to be a foul ball......

19. reminds me of a friend of mine...
in the 80's we used to repair copiers for a living. he dropped at work and decided he wanted to see what 24 volts DC felt like so he stuck his tongue on a circuit board of a running copier. :9
