Cal Poly’s big St. Fratty’s Party got grim quick when at least eight people were injured while on top of a garage roof that collapsed from the weight of the celebrating crowd. The good news is that there were no serious injuries–although one person had a thigh impaled on a piece of debris, which isn’t going to be the kind of thing that you can just walk off like a hangover.
The main thing to take away from this is that garage roofs are seemingly not nearly as solid as house roofs, because a lot of the California Polytechnic State University students managed to gather on those without any injury. Check out this video, and that’s going to seem like a real St. Fratty’s miracle right there. We’d have probably gone over to the garage roof as a safe alternative.
Anyway, the video is kind of a Cloverfield thing where everything seems okay, and then something horrible happens right when the camera gets to the roof collapsing, so you’re not sure if it was a monster knocking the thing down, or something more natural. Looks like this was a natural enough event for a Cal Poly St. Fratty’s Day Party…
