Agreed. "Influencers" who do hyper-risky tricks to gain
followers and
make money do nobody any good. They probably inspire
other fools to lose
at risky tricks. And as in this case, they trigger
public spending to
rescue them from their failures.

which is not the worst way to go out.

 
If he retained consciousness about five minutes after his

Not all decisions are correct.
