… then he got up onto another escalator and hurled himself a second time.
I hope there’s a follow-up story to this article so we’ll know why he did it.
I caught part of that on the local news last night. I’ve been there and that’s a hell of a drop. They showed the smashed marble countertop where he landed.
He was able to get up and do it again?!?! Damn!
I have to say not waiting until the people below were out of the way is pretty rude though. Bad suicide manners!
Oh brother…it was only from the street level? Well he’s just a moron then, lol. Seriously…if you jumped from the top, you would not be needing a second attempt.
8 feet high. Sounds like he was emulating Superfly Snuka!
lmfao that’s f u n n y!
i agree with voguevixen, if you want to end it, pick a time where the mal is empty, or at least scream FORD! or look out below! or something…
i feel sorry for the girl. I think he jumped again to try and injure himself a good one, and then acted like he didn’t know what’s going on because he felt bad for hurting the girl.
Only the first jump was from street level. For the second second jump, he went up to the second floor for a 26-foot drop.
He must have had some kind of crush on her.
“Ford!”? 
ROFL! That really cheered me up. Thanks!
You wouldn’t be a Christine Lavin fan, would you?
Sure, just look at the way he fell for her.
Wait - malls in S.F. have spiral escalators?! How the hell does that work?

You can browse around that site and get all the info your heart desires.
They are the manufacturers of said escalator.
I can see the headline now … “‘I’m a dumbass,’ says man.”
I think he ment Fore! as is golf.
I don’t know about dbygawdcapn, but I am!
Cause she worked in an office near the boiler room door
And he worked in accounting on the 32nd floor.

Maybe he was looking for the lowest prices?
(“BOOOOOOOOOO!!!”)
Here’s the follow-up story.
Sometimes I really miss the Bay Area. Other times, like this, not so much.
