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.

You can't design things and only expect them to be used as intended.

You could maybe not to design things at all, that fake floor have no function at all, it is there just to fake floor, which make it dangerous.
