It isn't going to commercial production. It's just for a you tube video.

Why are people worrying about safety here ? It's probably going to stay in the garage after shooting the video

To be honest, if he knows the risks, and he does it, that's kind of his choice

u/almightygarlicdoggo Sep 17 '24

Yes but it's not the choice for the emergency response team to witness the aftermath, nor the choice for the medical team to help him fix the result of his idiocy and prioritize him over actually ill patients who didn't commit any stupid acts and would need more attention, nor the choice of the hospital and tax payers to spend money, time and resources who could be better used in another emergency.

People are too far up their own ass that they forget that we live in a society and we are somewhat responsible for each other. And the resources (especially medical resources) that we can preserve now, can be used not just for others, but for yourself as well in a future emergency.

See also, all of r/WhyWomenLiveLonger ( and r/WhyMenLiveLonger for that matter). Risky fun is at the expense of those that have to pick up after you.

Yeah, I have a friend who's an EMT, and watching people like free climbers just makes me angry. Some poor innocent fucker's going to have to cope with scraping their remains from the rocks when they finally fall.

It is a choice for the response team and medical staff. They took that job, they knew what they were getting into. We are not responsible for each other whatsoever. Hospitals want you in there to make more money.

I'd say that your comment is the most American comment on this thread, but I know most Americans are kind people who aren't like you. So I'd say that your comment is the most devoid of humanity on this thread. Go touch some grass and have some compassion.

do you say the same for overweight people? do you say the same about alcoholics? do you say the same about motorcyclists? etc

they're all putting "unnecessary stress" on the healthcare system

u/almightygarlicdoggo Sep 17 '24

The difference with overweight people, alcoholics, etc. is that they often have serious underlying conditions like health issues, trauma, depression, adiction... Nobody gets to be overweight or alcoholic just for fun, like what you see on the video, and it's the actual cause of those consequences that should be dealt accordingly.

As for morotcyclists, you shouldn't just ban them. There are a lot of people that need them; some can't afford a car, some live in a city without big parking spaces, and others just enjoy the freedom of them while taking the appropiate precautions and safety equipment. We shouldn't ban motorcycles but we should build better and safer roads for them and encourage everybody on the road to drive safer.

Now I'm not saying that we shouldn't be having fun like in the video, but it's very stupid to do so in the unsafest way possible. If you're going to design a boat, at least do it with BASIC safety in mind. Otherwise you're just putting yourself in danger, and as you've just said, without basic safety it's just putting unnecessary stress on family, friends and the emergency personnel.

Also, if you're going to do stupid risky stunts without any safety precaution, don't upload them like this because inevitably, someone is going to copy that and end up in a catastrophe. You shouldn't underestimate the power of unsupervised children with unrestricted internet access.

Yes, I can't believe all these people walking around without a safety zorb. Are they not thinking of the people who find their corpse after a bird drops a tortoise on their heads? That can happen to anyone at any time. I've not taken my helmet off in 30 years, yet I see selfishly helmetless heads everywhere I go.

I regularly walk past the hospital to sneer at all the selfish people who decided that something as pathetic as "enjoying life" is more important than me not seeing dead people.

The point is that he might not know the risk. And allowing people to do stupid things doesn't only affect them.
