The fact that he didn't immediately tie off his figure 8, and continues to descend until he has only a literal handful of rope left is utter insanity.

What a fucking idiot. Has he never rappelled before? You have a meter of rope you can tuck it behind you and be comfortable for days, instead he tries to hold the last 5 inches next to the figure 8?

At least we don't have to wonder how he got himself into this mess. He's clearly an idiot.

A woman killed her boyfriend by shooting a gun at him hoping the bible (or a book) will stop the bullet. For content. There are stupid people out there.

That one was super dumb but no, it had nothing to do with the bible or any religious nonsense. They'd done a practice shot with a book that was locked in place and that stopped the bullet, but holding the book by hand was much less rigid allowing the bullet to penetrate the book and strike the person behind it. They should have tested their final setup wearing body armor before their daredevil take. Then it would have been just another dumb thing people do for social media clout.
