    This is not a good place for job inertia, clearly.

    The article says none of them remembers or can say who was responsible. All 3 are arrested on manslaughter charges.

    The explanation reeks of bored, routine job inertia. That’s horrifying.

      Someone linked a video. The person looks like they believed they were safe. Hopefully they never realized and died immediately.

        Another article that I read said that when they got down to her the nurse that treated her said she was still alive with a low heartbeat and slow breathing…

      Hopefully they never even knew. Just assumed the catch would come until it suddenly didn’t and they never noticed.

    Ten years ago a man died during a bungee jump because the rope was too long. Also happened in Brazil. Don’t go bungee jumping in Brazil, it’s apparently organized by morons.

      The people doing them accept the risks. This one is particularly stupid, as at least four people all failed to notice something very important, but the majority of people who do pointless dangerous shit survive it and go on to do other pointless dangerous shit because they enjoy it.

      I’d like to see an end to people trying to control others to save them from their own choices. Everyone dies eventually and I won’t choose to live in a padded room to put that off slightly.

        Ah yes. The only other alternative to not doing extremely dangerous things is to be a drone.

        No need to be productive, just recognize that jumping off a bridge to get an adrenaline high isn’t that different from snorting ketamine

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
