Long story short: A guest at a party at the Alpha Tau Omega house gets so drunk he decides that the best thing he can do is to shoot a lit bottle rocket out of his butt. When the rocket explodes without zooming off, he is "startled" (words of one article) and falls off the deck. Which, granted, does not have railings.
Instead of saying "How stupid am I?", he is suing the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity at Marshall University(WV). It's obviously their fault for not stopping him from drinking or shoving a bottle rocket up his butt.
One article says he was startled when the bottle rocket exploded; another says a friend startled him. Really? You got startled when a bottle rocket exploded where the sun don't shine? But - of course, it can't be your fault.
