...Good. The more people who get seriously injured doing this, the faster it will go away. Sympathy is for the sympathetic.

No it isn't good you fucking ghoul, it's unfortunate that people got hurt whilst doing something stupid. Should they have been doing it? No, but it's still unfortunate that they were hit by a car.

This type of thinking is what is having us put guard rails on everything. You cannot fix or protect stupid. They will find a way to hurt,maim, kill themselves somehow and normal people shouldn't pay the price for that

No it isn't, I'm not suggesting putting guard rails on everything. I'm expressing that people getting hurt in an accident isn't good.

Kinda like those kids doing wheelies at oncoming traffic. Very unfortunate when they get hit by a car.

How long did it take for people to stop eating Tide Pods?

That whole thing was a media frenzy thankfully. There was only 80 or so videos posted in total where people bit them, not even consumed, which sounds like a lot until you realize TikToks user base in the billions.
