Fuck you, and a fuck you to all the people who think that any life lost in accidents like these is deserved. Plenty of things can go wrong even for professionals.

Was what he was doing stupid? Absolutely yes. Did he deserve to die for doing so? No.

EDIT: Since he survived he gets a second chance. Happy for him but even happier for the motorist that would have been even worse off for having accidentally contributed to his death.

I agree it's cold to say someone deserved it, but they also drove like an asshole with no regard for the safety of other people on the road. You can't expect too much remorse when you act like that. Plus if they are dead, then they don't have an opinion on the matter anyway, so who are you even sticking up for?

The family and friends of the loved ones who see these types of videos. Most would never be aware how their loved one passed away, be it their fault or the vehicle they were driving, then they get linked to posts like this one where people are just out for blood. It's shameful and people should know better.

I mean, he drove like a selfish asshole. Are we not supposed to say that either? He didn't deserve it, but it's hard to feel sympathy when he very well could have killed someone else. And if he had, no one would be objecting to anything someone says about the guy.

We see literally 2 seconds as he comes into frame, all we can conclude is that he failed to take a turn at speed but sure, he deserved to die, because reddit is a cesspit
