Here's a young woman, 36 years old, who had her entire life ahead of her and she basically threw it in the trash. For what? To break a world speed record? Now her family, friends, etc. are in mourning because she had to be selfish and try to be a hot shot.

I know that your life is yours and you can do anything you want, as long as you aren't hurting anyone, but I can't help but see this shite as selfish. There are people dying of diseases who would love to just have a healthy life to enjoy and others who are healthy just throw it all away.

I'm not a risk taker, so maybe I just don't "get it", which is fair.

No one will answer you straight on this board.

This place is where neckbearded losers come to live out their tough guy persona.

One person's throwing it away is another's living it to the fullest.

Why is there a women's land speed record? Why not just a land speed record? How are women at a disadvantage?

This is really dumb and you should feel bad about it.

Jessi’s most notable dream was to become the fastest woman on Earth, a dream she had been chasing since 2012. Combs was one of the rare dreamers with the bravery to turn those possibilities into reality, and she left this earth driving faster than any other woman in history


Seems to me her family while mourning her were completely supportive of her dreams to the very end.

She made the choice full well knowing the risk. Sucks for her family though for sure.

She has the right to live her life the way she wants, neither you or I have to agree with it but it was her right. Some people like to push the envelope, to break records and be remembered for history while some just like to be low key.

Look, brah, she's not the first chick who got killed from attention-whoring and she won't be the last.
