This incident was a bad reminder of Shannon Stone who died at the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington in 2011 from falling into the outfield.
Left-handed pitcher Brandon Kintzler feared the worst when the man fell, thinking he could have died instantly. according to yahoo. Kintzler claimed the fan was talking to bullpen catcher Marcus Hanel when he fell.
"We were just sitting there when (bullpen catcher Marcus Hanel) yelled 'Oh gosh' and all of a sudden you see the net come flying down," Kintzler said. "I think the net caught him and then he just face planted." via ABCNews.
The Brewers said the man eventually began moving his fingers and that he was conscious and alert while they carried him off the field. He was being taken to Froedtert Hospital.
The Twins eventually won the game 6-4.
