Man injured after fall from Petersen Events Center window Wednesday, March 30, 2011 By Dan Majors, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Pittsburgh police are investigating the fall of a 20-year-old man through a fourth floor window at the Petersen Events Center on the University of Pittsburgh campus in Oakland.
Lt. Dan Herrmann said that the young man, who police believe was attending a Furthur concert with his father, went through the window around 9 p.m. and fell to a sloped hillside bordering a cement walkway. Police said they were not sure whether he landed on the hillside or the cement, as they cordoned off the scene and took measurements. He fell near Terrace Street, just across from the entrance to Pitt School of Medicine's Scaife Hall.
The man was taken to UPMC Presbyterian, where he is critical condition with head injuries.
Lt. Herrmann said that there had been at least one witness who said the man appeared to have gotten into a three-point stance, "like a football player," yelled "Hike!" and charged the window, which he estimated was an inch thick and double-paned. Police are looking for more witnesses. He added that the man's father was with him at the hospital and they do not suspect foul play.
Toxicology reports are pending.
Hundreds of similar windows, about three feet by six feet wide, make up the building's front facade. Lt. Herrmann said the windows are safe.

Man Plunges To His Death At Petersen Events Center
PITTSBURGH -- A man was killed after he jumped through a window at the Petersen Events Center on Wednesday night, police said.
The Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office identified the man as Joseph Kimutis, 19, of McDonald. He was taken to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in critical condition, and was pronounced dead at 12:21 a.m. Thursday.
Witnesses said Kimutis got down in a football stance, yelled "hike," and then ran through the window at about 9 p.m. Kimutis fell about 30 feet to the ground, police said.
"He seemed to be a little out of it at the time, and he may have done that, but that's not for sure at this time," Pittsburgh police Lt. Daniel Herrmann said. "We just know he did hit the window, and we're looking for actual witnesses that saw this."
Jam band Further was scheduled to perform at 7:30 p.m. at the venue, according to the Petersen Events Center website.
Furthur is a rock band founded in 2009 by former Grateful Dead members Bob Weir and Phil Lesh.
Herrmann said police did not have reason to believe that drugs were involved in the incident.

Jesus man fuck. First thing I said when I read this was "ooooh shit" then immediately after I read "furthur concert" I let out an uncontrolled "Oh no!"
This is not good for the scene, this year's tour, or the band or audience. Take care of yourselves and be careful.
I attended a furthur concert last year and it was so amazing. I feel really bad for this kid .

I saw that on the news last night. Another idiot giving them ammunition for the drug war....
What substances will they find? Deff some THC, and some RC's or some LSD if he was lucky enough to fid it around here. Hopefully some Bath salts, just get them off the market already I'm sick of hearing about this shit already. Maybe then people will buy real drugs again

I was at the Furthur concert the night before this in Binghamton, was an ABSOLUTE CIRCUS (Inside and Outside the Arena), but I loved every effing minute of it (HUGE grateful Dead fan) and they put on a HELL of a show, it also helped that I ate an 1/8th of mushrooms yeeeee.
I could definitely see something like this happening tho. It is unfortunate because that ruined ALOT of people's good time last night and that is all that the Grateful Dead (Furthur) are about, having a huge party and loving everybody there..

What a tragedy. This heart goes out to him and his family. If this isn't a reminder to all the newer trippers and even some of the heroic dosers that trip sitters/friends are important, what is?
Rest in piece, at least it was a great party before the vexing nothing .

...yes it is. Furthur was indeed formed in 2009 (by Weir and Lesh) as a result of the 2009 Dead tour.
Regardless, that's a shitty story. Such a shame.

is they arent a band, then what are they? theyre a group of people who play instruments and sing, and travel around together under the name "further"
sounds like the definition of a band to me

Still awaiting toxicology reports, but they are suspecting MUSHROOMS.

Lol, I just noticed this after re-reading the article:

Wow, really? The guy was at a fucking Furthur show. And jumped out a 4th story window. Naaah, drugs had no involvement whatsoever.

I was at this show and my friend got a text a bit after the second set started mentioning this. I didn't really hear anyone in my area talking about it or while I was walking outside the seating area. I'm pretty sure the majority of people there weren't aware of this while the concert was going on.
I tried to find more real info but the stories out there seem to be conflicting. Some people said he said "hike" and ran, someone said he just ran through without saying anything, and someone said he took someone's beer and another person called him out on it and then he jumped through the window. I'd have to guess he was on some sort of drugs, not sure why they'd say they didn't suspect he was.
Shitty way to go out no matter what though.

I wonder if he has heard the story that those thick windows are unbreakable, and he was going to pull a stunt by running into one, and he didn't expect it to break?
