    That's awesome. Glad he's okay. Funny that it sounds like he just got too excited and thought he could make the jump.

    This may be in poor taste, but every time I read that guys name, this song pops into my head
    (I do change the lyrics a bit though :oops: ;):D ). I'm glad he's okay :)
    Oh the night that Paddy Murphy jumped, is a night I'll never forget
    Some of the boys got loaded drunk, and they ain't got sober yet;
    As long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay
    O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play

    i saw that guy - after hitting the canopy he did a somersault and I really thought he was dead - happy he's alive and I hope he's back serving pizzas soon! :D

    The guy's a selfish twat... seems like some people see him as a legend :/ What if he had a landed on someone and broken their neck? Not sure we'd all be laughing then. He's just so lucky no one was down there where he landed. I don't particularly care if he's ok or not, I'm just happy that the only person he injured was himself. Prick.

    I wish this was an official DVD taping and was caught on video. Can you imagine the sound mixer at the soundboard doing his job and this jabroni falls down next to him?

    You know, that struck me too when I was reading the article. I'm glad I'm not the only one! :lol:
    Really, really glad the sound mixer wasn't hurt. Must have scared the crap out of them. :shock:

    What a douche. Could have hurt others and ruined thier night. Lucky son.

    I like how the article makes no mention of how pissed this guy was.

    He's very lucky. Probably luckier than he deserves to be. I'm just glad he didn't hurt anyone else.

    Prick, indeed. Go back to your pizzas.

    Nobody sees this moron as a legend. Nobody got hurt, so the story is free for a joke here and there. Harmless fun. Remember that? We were laughing at him. Can you please restrain yourself of using my back as your soapbox next time? Thanks.
