That is so tragic.
Benzgirl, I agree that there should be some consideration given to the fact that college kids sometimes do stupid things, and maybe "child-proofing" is in order.
The dorm at UT, where my son lived last year, has had two instances where kids have fallen off balconies. Two years ago, an SAE lost his life, last year, a kid suffered multiple broken bones, and was lucky to not have died. I find it pretty crazy that the company that owns this private dorm has not put up something, like bars or chain link, to prevent these types of occurances.
I know that it would detract from the appearance, and that there should be some type of personal responsibility expected from these college kids, but when you have two instances, in two years, of kids falling off balconies, maybe strides should be taken.
I would think their insurance company would insist upon it. But, I don't know the liability issues of these accidents, so I don't know for sure if they were, or will be in the case of another tragedy, held responsible.
