Yet we probably have hundreds of thousands of people who drink and drive, and yet they never pay as serious a price for their actions as this kid/guy did, yet they put the lives of others in jeopardy. Do you feel the same way for all these people? That you question what was going on in their head when they knew they'd get drunk, yet chose not to stop and make sure they didn't have their keys? I never see those people nominated for the Darwin Award that people on Neowin seem so happy to give out. Is it because it's more socially acceptable? Because it isn't as dumb in some form (when it clearly is)?

Sorry, but at the end of the day, this is just a mistake -- stupid decision, however you want to phrase it. A big mistake, but a mistake none the less.

I disagree with the mistake bit. And I'd also like to point out that nobody drinking with me drives afterwards. I see to that. If someone drinks and drives and ****s themself up, they had it coming and I can't be bothered to feel too badly for them - it's not acceptable and is completely stupid and isn't a mistake you make if you choose to do it. You seem to be making some wild assumptions about myself, or else I just don't get your point and how it relates to this story.

Common sense gets kick of out the door here, yet again. Sigh, nothing to see here folks.

Nice to see the caring church leaders stopped that one...

That kind of comment is sickening. Because the teens were old enough to enjoy the park on their own without constant supervision you are now blaming the church leaders for this mishap? Shame on you.

I'm actually pretty disappointed at the number of people saying "serves him right/darwin wins again etc. etc." Yes, it was a bad idea; yes, it was stupid. But did he deserve to be decapitated?!

Have you never done something stupid? 17 year olds do stupid **** all the time ya know... :/

It was a church group. They probably didn't allow science.

i love your attitude and sarcasm here. you clearly are out of touch with reality.

i also find it funny that no one really cares if people lol'd and praised your foolish comments, but if it was the exact same tone of sarcasm and idiocy about the fallacy that is evolution, people would have gotten warned and banned if they laughed at it. i just love the neomodern "openness" attitude that people have which actually just uses sarcasm and idiocy to degrade people who believe higher things. it's become ridiculous over the last several years. way to go guys

I'd feel bad for my friends' parents/family, but if a friend of mine did something as dumb as what happened at the amusement park, then they had it coming.

So say your brother did this (hypothetically - so don't say he wouldn't or you don't have one), you would just say "served him right" ? Nice...

Funny how most replies go along the lines of "serves him right!". FFS it's an amusement park and the victim's a teen. That fence is a vertical pile of fail, not tall enough without barbed wire on top.

We've all been teens once. You'd be ****ting me if you were to say that most teens you've knew and seen were mature and followed rules and the law from A to Z and etc, yeah ****in right :rofl:

I'm not defending the dude. He was clearly stupid to go in a dangerous zone, but does that warrant one's death? It's not like it was an adult who can think twice before doing something, it was a teen. Yeah some of us were mature in those ages too, but again it would be a blatant lie to say that most teens are. Just remember your high school years.

Ok first off it is kind of funny it happened to someone part of a church group. Only because they consider themselves holy and nothing bad can happen to them. 2nd Have any of you actually watched some of those real decapitation videos? Well I have and the fact that what happened to him happened that quickly, its all good.

I do remember more than one death in my high school years, mostly car accidents on grad night and drug overdoses.. Stuff like this was pretty rare, so was skiing out of bounds (come to think of it there was no out of bounds back then, everyone knew that if you skied down the wrong side of a mountain you were probably gonna die)

It's a shame to see someones life reduced to a warning for his friends, but it seems this was his legacy..

So did the ride knock his head off or did the persons foot.

Now thats a story to tell....one time I kicked a persons head off with my foot.

Imagine the friends with him reacation.

Since the story said no one else was hurt, I'm betting the ride did the deed.... A neck is way tough compared to a foot/ ankle/ leg..

The story would have read "Roller coaster rider loses foot on pranksters head"

[Settings] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Settings > Apps > Startup. [Virtualization] - Also available in Beta This update addresses an issue that could result in bugchecks citing HYPERVISOR_ERROR (0x20001) and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E) errors after installing the latest flights on some devices during system restarts, virtual machine operations, or while running some gaming applications. You can find the official changelog for the Experimental build here and for the Beta build here.
    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.

      Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly.
