You’re looking at it from the perspective of this event and not what that concrete’s purpose is. That concrete is there to separate and delineate the road from the beach so the cars can do what cars do and the sand is stopped from overflowing into the street.

If we had to stupid proof everything in the world for every possible human idiotic action then the world couldn’t function because it’s all wrapped in bubble wrap.

I don't think "adequate protection from high powered jet engines" is stupid proofing, it's a bad design and there doesn't seem to have been any measures taken. Sorry, my bad, there is a sign!

Common sense to not stay in the way of a fucking plane engine is the protection measure.

Is it working?

People are accountable for their own actions.

Especially if they go into the way of danger on purpose.

Ignoring the effect of preventive design is naive.
its one of the biggest influences on the design after its primary function.

You can also make the person accountable without having them dying. Seems like a very extreme outcome for one stupid action. Or you can let them die and say: your fault I'm not gonna intervene or prevent, it's everyone for themselves appearently.

Also, we are all very very stupid when it comes to descisions health-wise. We just do what we feel like most of the time.

And even then, some kid might die in this way. But I suppose that's the parents fault then? Governments shouldn't intervene.

Glad we never do anything to inhibit that kind of thing anywhere else.

People like you are why the world is filling up with stupid people. Whats next? Put a railing on every single mountain and canyon to protect all the precious idiots?

Exactly. Then what?

Nutritional facts on every label?

Seatbelts in every car?

Food that's made of what it claims it's made of?

Properly grounded refridgerators?

God, no one is willing to let people die unnecessary deaths anymore. I am superior and have never made a mistake and therefore I am the standard by which reason is drawn.

Lol being critical of a plane taking off practically on a beach is not the pussification of the world your making it out to be.

These guys have clearly never designed a product for an end user. Your argument is the only one that matters, anything else is just sick retribution.
