just adding to my darwin award comment - even though they brought in on themselves, and not knowing how old this person is, it is still sad - young people (if this was a young person), think they are invincible and they do dangerous things at times without thinking thru the possible outcomes - now that I am old enough to have a 21 year old son, the thought of him getting killed doing something stupid terrifies me - he is a good very good kid and has never been in trouble, but get a few of them together, throw in a few beers and you just never know what happens.
That is the lesson.
One often hears men expressing amazement they escaped their youthful adventures alive. I feel visceral fear when I recall my youth. Seconds or millimeters away from death and I never even gave it consideration.
It never ends though, does it? Every five years Im amazed ad how stupid I was five years earlier.
Stupid stuff happens... Every time.
