It's people like this that deserve America's health care bills.

[–] Ubermeisters@lemmy.zip 68 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nobody deserves American health care bills. Nobody.

[–] UFODivebomb@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Agreed. Im fine with my tax dollars going to doctors for practice fixing dumbasses before getting to me.

[–] burningmatches@feddit.uk 6 points 2 years ago

There are a lot more old people with diabetes and heart disease than dumbasses with broken bones.

That's a possibility. The guy acted grossly negligent and thus the accident insurance can reduce the coverage and in some cases even deny it completely.

Second time?

This is a fetish.

[–] jimmux@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

Hey, he could just be taking inspiration from Wim Hof.

Ok, yeah probably fetish.

you're supposed to use a trash can lid to ride it to the top idiot

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mmm spinal compression injuries.

[–] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just decompress it with one of these.

I was expecting one of those Addam's family contraption, but this is similar i guess.

[–] Durotar@lemmy.ml 31 points 2 years ago (2 children)

At least his brain is not injured.

[–] stopthatgirl7@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

But hopefully this knocked some sense into it.

[–] brothershamus@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

arguable.

I see the jet quite often and think "Wonder what would happen if you jumped in that"

Thanks to this daft cunt, I know now

I mean the jet is about 140m / 460ft high, to give you an idea of how powerful it is

Edit - corrected numbers, thanks!

First actual example of the intrusive thoughts winning. Theyre supposed to keep you from harm.

Please somebody find the video

[–] pjhenry1216@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"20 minutes"? Is that some news show like "60 minutes" but shorter?

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

It’s a free (money by ads) paper news thingy, which you can read while using public transport. Not very high level press but cheap little articles.

Fucked around and found out.

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Twice

[–] stown@sedd.it 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can't find where it says this was the second time in the article. Can you quote it?

[–] Epic2112@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

a man in his twenties broke through the Jet d’eau’s security barrier and put his head on the nozzle. He was then thrown violently backwards.

After coming to his senses, the young man tried to hang on to the jet. A gesture which earned him to be propelled several meters high before falling on the slab.

It starts literally 2 sentences in, you can't find it?

[–] stown@sedd.it 2 points 2 years ago

Ah, I read that as part of the same incident. I see now what was meant by twice - not really a repeat offender.

[–] 22dobbeltskudhul@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sounds like he was on drugs/having a psychotic break tbh

[–] shapesandstuff@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Or a concussion/disorientation after the first time.

Or a very weird choice of attempted suicide.

[–] xilliah@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Lmao awesome

[–] DigitalFrank@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

This doesn't seem like an accident at all.

[–] HowMany@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Look. I'm famous.

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Is that an accident, though?
