Some Ohio State fans knocked down chain-link fences and jumped in Mirror Lake Monday night after new restrictions on the Mirror Lake jump were announced Sunday.
OSU officials had announced there would be increased safety and security efforts for the Mirror Lake jump, originally planned for Tuesday night. Fences were installed around the Mirror Lake area with one designated entrance spot and multiple exits. Students, whether jumping or watching, were set to be required to wear a wristband for admission to the area Tuesday, causing some students to take to social media and plan an alternative event.

Patrick Mortenson, a fourth-year in political science who jumped Monday, said he strongly disagreed with the university’s new restrictions. “This is what the tradition is all about. Every year I have been here, the university has sent me an email saying don’t do the jump, it’s not a tradition,” Mortenson said. “Yet we come here and we do the jump every f—— year. And it’s been like that every year since my dad was here, since my grandpa was here. So why say it’s a tradition but make it an official jump day?”
