Its a human being that died. Likely not in their right mind because they jumped in a tiger enclosure. What are you even trying to compare here? Is the child more deserving of protection? It's just sad. Glad the tiger didn't get hurt. In the best case we wouldn't even keep gorillas and tigers in small enclosures and zoos to be stressed out by hundreds of people. And no one would fall or be able to jump in their enclosures either.
Yeah, I think there's a real problem with having a bridge over a tiger enclosure. It just doesn't seem reasonable to me.
EDIT: for those talking about him climbing two fences, the fences are adjacent to one another and one is raised above the other. It appears to me that a good leap from the bridge can take you over both fences. I think that's a real problem.
Just so no one gets me wrong. I don't mean every institution needs build in protection for every unlikely event like this (other than maybe not having the animals anyways). For me it is just so confusing why everyone seems almost to have such a big Schadenfreude that this dude seemingly fucked up and found out and died. Even ignoring his state of mind if this wasn't the Internet and a different situation where someones son died even if it was "stupid" like getting mad drunk and hit by a car it would be a tragedy. Maybe it's just a way to cope for most people with everyday news that are just fucked. If he's stupid it's almost comical and we don't need to feel bad and can continue with our day without a bad feeling.
