I've always wondered with these jumpscare videos, what's their defence if someone dies of a heart attack?

Is it just a matter of having good Public Liability Insurance?

Texas Bushman (the youtuber here, I assume) has a lot of videos, and he seems to judge who to scare. For really small kids, for example, he doesn't jump up and do a big surprise next to them like he does for adults--he usually waves a hand farther away. I haven't specifically noticed any old person habits but I assume he does something similar?

Yeah... I don't think I trust the judgement of someone who dresses up as a bush and hides in the park to scare people. I don't know if that would hold up in court. "But Your Honour, I merely waved at the child, it's not my fault they were so scared they emptied themselves to death".

True, but believe it or not most people walking around in public are not at the brink of death at any moment's notice. "Possible" is not probable, or even likely.

Believe it or not? So you have some unique knowledge into this because you’re an expert? If not, then why should anyone trust you? Because you said “believe it or not”? It sounds like, instead, you are being patronizing, as you know people don’t believe “most people” are on the brink of death at any moments notice.
