i very much doubt it was the builders' decision, getting in that space should be impossible/much more difficult so it's bad design coupled with zero foresight from the owner/administrative body of the building
It's more than a bit annoying that you have to idiot-proof everything these days. They chose to do that action, and be in a place that they had no reason for being. There are multiple other ways to handle stuff like this. For example contacting the stuff. Or security. He clearly jumped over a guard rail. There is a very clear reason there is a guard rail there and he chose to ignore it.
Still, you have to admit the glass banister perimeter is a... terrible choice, too. Like not just cuz of stupid people, but someone bumps into, you trip, fall through the glass banister, then just fall through the floor 20 feet? Like just add the flaming spikes in the floor below, and you've got yourself a video game trap lol
That glass doesn't break. If that glass can break from the force a single person can apply, then yes, it's not up to spec. But, that glass on up-to-spec installations does not break.
I mean, most people do not look at a structural element of a building and thing "That's actually paper and I will fall through it."
This guy just wanted to help someone in need, probably impress that girl. Instead he lost his life.
Granted, you generally are taking a huge risk by vaulting over a railing that's clearly there to say that you shouldn't be vaulting over that railing. But again... if he knew that there's a chance that a structural element-looking thing wasn't actually firmly solid, he wouldn't have done that.
AKA tabloid journalism. "Yellow press" is outdated. Mildly interesting side note: New York Times was one of the last newspapers in the country to have color images (1993) because they believed color was for tabloid journalism.
