I can't imagine finding the body, there's no way it's all still in one piece.


Window cleaner probably thinking, "Nope, I'm not cleaning that up."

Am I an a-hole for finding satisfaction in this type of shite?

Dude wanted attention and money from doing dangerous stuff and posting it online.. this is no different than thugs that get shot during a robbery, they just had it coming, it was only a matter of time

R. Kelly is smiling somewhere.

On second thought, it's just a name for a song.

A guy who wasn’t harming anyone died in a horrible manner. Regardless of whether he “had it coming” or not, finding satisfaction in that is a little fricked up.

No offense, but yea I think it's pretty strange to feel glee or satisfaction. It's like rooting for the Grand Canyon instead of Evel Knievel.

Yeah, but I'd bet the majority of people that watch these defying death videos, are hoping for the worst.

Same as watching NASCAR.

Damn that was hard to watch. He knew he was fricked after he couldn’t complete that last pull up
Seemed weird to me. I assume if you're doing that kind of shite you're in pretty good shape.

Obviously he didn't plan for it to be slipper and unable to get footing to climb up, but you'd think it should have been pretty simple for him to pull himself up far enough to get his elbows up and go from there, no?

Yes, why would you even have to ask that question?

Ryan Shazier played football for attention and money from doing super dangerous, is his situation and spinal injury any different? Doesn't sound like it based on your logic. But I'm sure you're not satisfed with Shazier and his injury.

good analogy - I get what you’re saying, but tbh i wasn’t really moved much when shazier went down.. it sucks that it happened but it’s part of the game

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like i was celebrating or anything, it just doesn’t bother me emotionally like other deaths normally would.

He made his money based off of the allure that a tragedy would happen, and it did

If you're a skinny little dude that can barely do a regular pull-up, why in the world would you attempt to do it while hanging from the side of a building??

You seem to be projecting. The skinny ones are always the best at stage 3 of ninja warrior.
