Pirates fan speaks out after terrifying fall from PNC Park stands

Kavan Markwood, the man who fell 21 feet from the right-field wall onto the warning track at PNC Park in April, recently returned to the scene of the horrifying accident for the first time since it happened.

In an interview with "Inside Edition" that aired on Monday, Markwood spoke publicly for the second time about his fall, which occurred during the seventh inning of a game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Chicago Cubs and left him in critical condition. He last spoke of the incident to TribLive's Tom Davidson in May, when he described his injuries as "broken everything."

“I don’t know how I’m alive,” said Markwood, who is seen wearing a cast on his left arm during the "Inside Edition" interview at PNC Park. “I wake up with pain every day.”

Markwood, who suffered the fall when he jumped out of his seat to celebrate a single by Andrew McCutchen and landed awkwardly on the railing, fell head-first onto the track. He suffered numerous life-threatening injuries, including a broken back, a broken neck, a punctured lung and fractures to every one of his ribs. He said during the interview that he still doesn't have feeling in two fingers on his left hand.

Pirates fans showed support to Markwood following the fall, raising more than $70,000 towards a GoFundMe campaign to help cover his medical expenses.

Markwood, who was only 20 years old when the incident occurred, attended the fateful game in April with his girlfriend and another friend, Ethan Kirkwood – the latter of whom has since been charged by Pennsylvania State Police Liquor Control Enforcement with two misdemeanor counts of selling or furnishing liquor to a minor in connection with the incident. The case is still pending, according to online court records.

“I feel terrible, because it wasn’t his fault,” Markwood said on "Inside Edition."

According to the police report, Markwood’s girlfriend told detectives he drank two beers before he fell. However, Markwood denied in the interview that alcohol played a role in in the incident, maintaining that the fall was merely a "tragic accident."
