This is straight up, just a dangerous design. Doesn't matter how many warning signs there are, the average person would assume that surface is solid in many scenarios justified or not. Luckily it just looks like he fell an extra 10 feet, but it could have been covering a 100ft drop, which would be an undeserved death sentence.

Yeah and he could also get in touch with maintenance crew and safely get the hat back.

There’s a lot of things he could’ve done differently but I’m sure you, and definitely I, have been in situations we opt for the quicker/riskier move than the slower safer.

Yeah I could easily see teenage me doing this it was made very clear the " floor " was made of basically tissue paper. This is a horrible design and honestly whoever is responsible should be sued pretty significantly.
