The Eagles Fan Who Fell Off the Light Pole is on Life Support
There’s video going around that shows an Eagles fan falling off a light pole during Sunday night’s celebrations. It’s hard to see exactly how he landed, since there is a crowd of people on the ground obscuring the view, but Action News is reporting that he is on life support:

One angle of the video is a little closer and the guy seems to hit the ground with no one there to break his fall. Obviously a lot of outlets are deleting out of respect to the victim and the family. There’s also an unrelated clip that shows someone doing a backflip from a truck and landing right on their head and neck. According to CBS 3, he’s in critical condition.
