Fan who fell more than 20 feet during Pirates game reflects on harrowing incident: ‘Don’t know how I’m alive’
NY Post
Kavan Markwood knows how lucky he is to survive a 21-foot fall — that was on video for the world to see.
Markwood, the fan who fell from the bleachers onto the warning track dirt during a Pirates game at PNC Park in April, lay motionless on the ground in a frightening scene.
“I don’t know how I’m alive,” Markwood told “Inside Edition” as he walked around Pittsburgh’s PNC Park for the first time since the incident. “I wake up with pain every day. My arm, I can’t feel my two fingers still. [But] I’m doing better than what I was, that’s for sure.
The grounds crew quickly got Markwood off the field and he was diagnosed him with a broken neck, clavicle, and back after a several touch-and-go days.
The video of Markwood was one of the most viral social media clips of the past few months.
