He's already admitted to underage drinking, who knows what else they can get him with. There are some pretty strange laws over there.

... um, over here they can do very good rescues, ya?

Well, I think they asked him bc they wanted to make sure his predicament wasn't the result of a robbery, assault or attempted murder, no? Seems he managed to fall over the edge of the roof without any help! (Thank god he dropped his phone, they found that clue and kept sniffing around the area until they heard him moan.)

As for prosecuting him, they'll probably figure he's had punishment enough for whatever "drinking" he was doing? The docs (psychiatrists) might have a long talk w him about how whatever he was doing almost killed him; he shouldn't do that again--ever. School might not want him around if he's such a liability; he might have to sign a contract that he'll remain sober and drug free? Otherwise he's a danger to himself and others (at least those who have to rescue him).

... Just curious, where are you that you're not over here? lol? How are legalities different where you live and how would such an incident be regarded there?

... if caught in similar circumstances, would a kid where you live be found alive and saved?

Your overuse of questionmarks reads as moronic interrogative sentences, are you from the Valley?

This wouldn't have happened here, our building codes don't allow 2 buildings to be constructed so close together. Minimun distance between the wall and boundry gets larger the higher the building is. From memory it is a 3 foot minimum, making distance between 2 buildings at least 6 feet.

At least he had decent friends who didn't wait until after the weekend to try to find him, or pretend they had no clue he was missing.

I'm sure this kid won't get charged with a thing and since he has a fractured skull he probably won't finish his semester making any disciplinary actions from the school pretty moot.

I had a friend who went on a NYC art school's summer exchange program in Paris and drunkenly fell off a balcony. She broke her back and spent the rest of the summer in a body cast in Paris. I'm pretty sure she got kicked out of school for that one, but then again she also was 17 and scaling an exterior balcony...

And drinking on rooftops is pretty much an integral part of every NYC college student's experience. So is trespassing.

Well.... As I was speculating, I indicated that with question marks. I was disagreeing, but discussing, as opposed to arguing, You know, I was just trying to be nice. Don't you get a lot of that in Arseville? (You are welcome.)

Actually, having given more consideration to the relative
liabilities involved, I imagine the rooftop restraining wall would have to be fairly low to permit someone to fall over the edge if they "slipped". A few years ago, to comply with changes in the building codes, many NYC buildings were adding 2-ft to 3-ft to the height of roof walls to make them safer. Maybe that hadn't been done yet to the buildings involved in this accident. However, this student probably wasn't supposed to be up there on the roof in the first place and certainly not so intoxicated that he presented a hazard to himself, anyway.

So if he was gonna sue (for a hazardous condition-low wall), he'd have to take some responsibility for his own peril. Sounds like a wash so long as the building wall was raised. Its a relatively easy matter to fix the building roof wall. As for fixing the guy's drinking-falling-almost-dying problem, thats a little tougher.
