Chinese biker dude falls to death while trying to jump Great Wall.
Last two links show them ensuring he will die by not stabilizing him
before moving him.
\_ RIDE BIKE!
\_ OFF CLIFF!
\_ Hey, look, this is China. They've got lots of extra people. One
more or less makes no difference. It is to everyone's benefit over
there and the rest of the world if the idiots kill themselves.
\_ idiots... no wonder stunt organization is so much more anal in
the US.
\_ Told you helmets didn't work.
\_ Right. Well, a token bike helmet sure doesn't, that's why
real stunt riders wear standard full-helmets w/ neck support.
as those here to know enought about not moving an injured body.
\_ aww, GROSS. i can hear his bone fragments jostling from here.
what idiots moving him like that. --aaron
\_ Well, just because the caption says "shortly before he died",
doesn't mean that he wasn't already dead.
\_ People in third world countries on average are not as well-educated
as those here to know enough about not moving an injured body.
It's natural instinct to think "Oh no, he's hurt! Take him to the
doctor quickly before he dies!" Even some moms and dads here will
react this way when their kids fall from a high chair.
\_ The reason this is more well known among the general US
population is due to 3 reasons mostly: People watch
(1) Fooball, (2) WWF, (3) Ice Hockey.
\_ Hmm, I don't watch WWF, Ice Hockey or "Fooball", and I
know that. BTW, is "Fooball" some kind of programming game?
\_ I don't know about fooball, but I've been playing
barball for years. never knew it was a spectator
sport.
\_ The last picture shows someone in a uniform that looks like
either law enforcement or medical, so, it really is a pathetic
state of affairs over there in 3rd world land. |
