Daredevils
Posted: Sat Jun 19, 2021 5:43 am
There's a miserable tale in the paper this morning.
The essential aspect of the word "daredevil" is recklessness, according to my dictionary. I'm not sure what people these days thing reckless means but I was always of the opinion that it meant paying no heed to consequences, "reck" as in reckoning and "less" from ignoring it.
I don't think a GoFundMe fundraiser is a suitable response, to be honest. Surely a lack of consequence will just encourage the next such incident.
Any respectable coroner ought to take a dim view of the entire proceeding and criticize his team, especially his team's management, and the terms of the event's insurance contract.
The 28-year-old was married and his wife had recently given birth to the couple's second son.
A GoFundMe fundraiser aiming to support the family has already raised almost $40,000 (£29,000).
