Ecstasy tragedy this morning

[pe4all]

Another tragedy that could have been averted had the person followed the rules and stayed out of a restricted area. If the ship was sailing back into the POM this morning, the bars would have been closed. If alcohol was involved, they probably can't blame Carnival. That is one knock on my cabin door, or phone call from Carnival I never want to experience.

Why would someone try and climb something they shouldn't....

Sorry this happened but he brought it upon himself.

Very sad indeed. I just hope posters avoid the 'stupidity' comments here. Somewhere a family is grieving over the loss, maybe even a CC member.

[spearmint]

It has everything to do with stupidity, sorry for being so blunt.

 

Sorry, but I agree. Not that the poor boy was stupid, but that he obviously did something stupid.....as any one of us can do and probably have done. Very ufortunately, his consequences are greater and more grave than he probably expected. I assume as has been mentioned that he has a grieving family, and I hope that they can come to terms with their grief. I feel bad for the boy and for them. What a sad situation.

Having a 20 year old son of my own, I read "20 year old man" and thought, "Man?? He's still just a boy, at least to his momma." My heart breaks for his family.

Very sad. I wonder if alcohol had anything to do with it.

[novicetraveller]

Very sad news.

[Janet524]

It is very sad. It is also very stupid.

[OCruisers]

Very sorry to hear about this. Tragic for this family & friends.

Doubly sad, because even if he had not fallen, he would most likely had a lifetime of illnesses from the massive amount of 3cm and 10cm radar waves he would have received up there. Even the crew don't climb that mast at sea, and there are specific lock out procedures before going aloft there. Not only are there warning signs prohibiting access, but warning of the radar danger.

:(

My heart goes out to his family and all who witnessed it.

Heartbreaking:(

Civilian marine radars rarely have a power density of more than 10W/m^2 when you're a meter away from them. Assuming this guy weighed 90kg and had a cross-sectional area of 1m^2, his SAR would've been about 0.11W/kg, well below the 4W/kg needed to produce known adverse health effects according to the WHO.

I bet you he thought he was king of the world...

[lady_cruiser]

I think the majority of us, when we were his age, all thought we were invincible. It's too bad that a split second decision can forever change the lives of love ones .

 

Prayers to the family.

[pauleydm]

No one has mentioned this, and I am just thinking out loud, but perhaps his intention was not to survive the fall:confused:

[hdowney]

Heartbreaking to hear. His poor family. Abd to some degree the fellow cruise passengers. I'm not sure how I would handle something like that happening on my cruise.

Seriously? Why do people make poor decisions everyday? The kid, and yes I mean kid, was only 20 years old. College age kids don't always make the best choices or think out the consequences of their actions.

That's a very empathic comment for you cruzsnooze - well done :)

That's what I was going to say!

Agreed. Sometimes at that age they think that they are invincible. I still say to my daughter "what were you thinking?"

 

Prayers for the family.

[rjrice1]

Very sad... still a "baby" to his parents.

We all did not so smart things and look back and say...WOW !!! how did I ever survive that?

Prayers, prayers and more prayers so everyone....

Any young ones reading this ... please think before you do something you are not supposed to do. If you know it isn't right.. well it isn't. Don't hurt yourself and most important your families will suffer the rest of their lives..

Enjoy your cruise... but remember you are the future of the generation and well loved by many

I agree. How sad.
