That's what happens when you stand on things that aren't meant to support the weight of an adult.

Regardless of the reasons behind why there were up there, that's just horrible! Security measures should be a lot higher than this, and even skylights should be better than this!

To most of the comments above- imagine losing your life at 18. Darwin or no Darwin, this is just horrible:(

If I decided to walk on a glass ceiling, and I died. I wouldn't blame anyone but me, because that's just ****ing stupid, especially if it was a ROOF.

Nope, it's still pretty stupid. Darwin or no darwin.

Hey, you guys don't even know the circumstance; you can't call them stupid right away.

Maybe they were up there because they had to hide from the government while hunting for dragons -- cause they were trippin' on LSD.
