46 y/o Ian Crystal, the Tech CEO of Evolution Spirits and maker of Monkey Rum in New York City fell to this death at a DEAD & COMPANY CONCERT when he tried to do a BACKFLIP on a 5th floor balcony and fell HEAD FIRST into the ground below!!

The Brooklyn resident was attempting a backflip on a balcony at Citi Field on Friday when he attempted it where police said he might have been trying to "impress" his friends

Police believe he was under the influence when he attempted it as his friends say the innovator was thoughtful and well liked who always thought of great things

Neal Weinstein wrote "Ian Crystal. The Rooster. One of one who was always down for the next adventure or for a long conversation that could go deep or off the rails in the best way. Left a long list of people that will miss you. Glad to have known you buddy."

Eric Meyers wrote "So devastating. He was so filled with life and happiness. Ian will truly be missed by so many"

He had a dog named Beatrice who always went out for walks with his dog and was a huge on being healthy. Friends said he loved working out and would always take time off to hit the gym.

The Emory University MBA graduate began his brand development career in high school where he was declared the winner of an advertising company hosted by Florida Dept of Citrus.

He managed several liquor brands ove the years including ABSOLUT Vodka, Malibu Rum and Stoli Vodka and served as the lead multiple brand and artist collabs including Jay-Z, Swedish House Mafia, Ne Yo and Spike Lee..

Monkey Rum is avalable in 11 states and it is described as liquor that comes in the world's first bottle designed to be recycled into glassware

The horrifying image of him falling off the balcony that night was shown on video wher he landed on concrete below in front of horrified fans

He was unresponsive when he hit the ground head first and the driver who saw him, Dan said there was no way he survived that fall and the sound when he hit the ground will haunt him for the rest of his life as people screamed from seeing the body

Dead & Company, the Grateful Dead tribute band featured members of the legendary rock band Bob Weir, Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann alongside John Mayer that kicked off a 31 date tour last week

Story unclear... did he try to backflip off the 5 stories or did he die where he jumped?

Are we sure it's not murder?

Fear of landing on my head is why I'd probably never try more than a back hand spring. Let alone doing it off a balcony...

Yeah...really shouldn't rule that out...

almost as lame as the ceo of segway trying to demonstrate how good a segway can stop by failing to stop and riding right off of a cliff

I think I heard about a window salesman proving the strength of their windows by running into a window in a skyscraper. Went about as well.

I mean to make that one even dumber, you can easily bail out of a Segway. It's not like a car where you have to unbuckle the seat belt and then open the door.

If I was trying to stop a Segway and it wasn't working I would jump off, even if traveling at 30 MPH far better to do that then drive it off a cliff.

The guy was old and probably had shitty reflexes, that or he thought it'd stop then panicked when he realized it wouldn't. Or, you know, murder. Whenever a millionaire dies from an "accident," my first thought is "who benefits from that accident?"
