FORT COLLINS - A Colorado State University sophomore jumped from the roof of a Fort Collins apartment complex Saturday afternoon and landed on the concrete before his body rolled into the pool.
Ian Smith is in critical condition after video shows him jumping from the roof during an afternoon pool party.
His brother says Ian has broken ankles, broken heels and multiple broken vertebrae in his lower back.
"Ugh, it definitely made me sick," Brittany Polliard, who witnessed the jump, said.
She saw a "pool of blood" after Smith's jump. Jared Roberts lives in the building that Smith climbed. Roberts says people were screaming, and when he looked up, Smith was on the roof. He says he turned away to avoid seeing the jump, but he heard Smith hitting the pavement.
"You could hear him hit it, and just kinda rolled into the pool," said Roberts.
