Stephen Fry Broken Bones

[Maydup]

Stephen Fry is recovering after falling from a stage onto concrete breaking his leg and pelvis. Ouch - very negligent if the venue to leave him with that risk.

sounds like workplace negligence on their part, doesn't it, leaving a six-foot drop without a guardrail.

I have yet to see a stage with a guard rail.

Me too, Barry.  Madonna fell off a stage a couple of years ago.  

Poor Stephen.  That's a rotten thing to happen.  

[Maydup]

There's never a guardrail at the front obviously, but when he turned to go offstage it should have been safer than it was.

Poor Frank Zappa was pushed off a stage by a jealous boyfriend. One can understand a boyfriend being jealous of a genius.

Poor Stephen. He's lucky to have survived that! 

[Tilly2]

I wonder if he was treaded privately.

[Tilly2]

treated!

[Barsel]

Poor Stephen. That must have been really painful.

At least we know where Gness has been these last months.

Round at Stephens house making him feel better.😀

Tilly, he was treated at an NHS hospital, the QE Woolwich.

Pelvis quite serious. and yes a claim wd be based on the duty of the impresario and theatre mge giving you a safe place to ponce

[Tilly2]

Thank you, Barry.

[Patsy33]

He highly praised the NHS.

'Pense', shurely. 😂

[Maydup]

It's a pretty serious bunch of injuries to sustain. I wish him well.

barry, I'm assuming the bit he fell off wasn't the front of the stage. I could be wrong.

[Old_Geezer]

Open trap doors aside, it's difficult to picture drops exiting stage left or right.

looks as though Fry failed to envisage it too.
