[QUOTE=FunnyBunny;26010494]
In case you didn't catch it (I guess you didn't) It was supposed to be a satirical statement.
Meaning:
1. I say the statement.
2. You find the statement repulsive.
3. You realize that my statement closely resembles the Idea you just set forth.
4. You understand the flaw in your original Idea.[/QUOTE]

Well we kind of evolved to use our brains to use tools and that lead to a bunch of things we werent [i]designed[/i] to do.
Not a very good argument

I'm not trying to say not to do it. I'm trying to show that you can't just be like "It's not their fault that they died". I'm saying that there needs to be extra consideration in these things, and flying near a bridge at 100 isn't exactly what humans were designed for.[/QUOTE]
Humans aren't designed to do a lot of things. Like go to space.

I see where you're coming from, but humans also come packaged with common sense, a few basic rules so you don't die stupidly. This activity isn't covered in CS insurance.

That is a completely unrelated subject. My post tied off the loose end on this argument, go back and read it again. I was being satirical when I said astronauts are dumb for going to space. I didn't really mean it. Go read up on satire.

Well if it was meant to be satirical, why did you cling so tightly to it, as to try to prove something with it?

The man was pushing the boundaries of the sport. Obviously it's not a very safe thing to do. But a few decades back it would have been suicide to do this:

Nowadays it's relatively safe. It's not the smartest nor the safest thing to do. But pushing the boundaries is the only way you'll advance in something.
So to sum this up:
People who only sit infront of their pc say "hurr he is stupid he deserved it cuz it's fuking stupid 2 do". If you ever wingsuited or flied close to stuff at all (which I do almost on a weekly basis) you'd know what this is about. It's called an adrenalin rush! Just the fact that you just passed close by a bridge AND amazed a crowd makes you feel like the greatest man alive.
Example:

That guy totally has no idea what it means to have fun by doing dangerous stuff!

We're talking about the whole topic of morality and weather or not to feel so bad about this. Not some adrenaline rush. I'm sure it's a blast, but don't expect me to cry when you're crushed against the pavement.

If by 'clinging tightly' you mean that I kept referring to astronauts in the rest of my posts, it's because I was hoping you would catch onto the original post's satire and then see the satire in the rest of them. If you go back, you'll notice they're all almost perfect copies of your posts. That's supposed to make you realize the flaw in my post, and then go back and realize the flaw of your very similar post.
Once again, go read up on satire and how it's used.

Implying you need to have adrenaline rushes every now and then to be alive.

But it still wasn't exactly a realistic comparison. My argument wasn't flawed to that degree, because wingsuiters and astronauts do it for 2 ENTIRELY different reasons.

Look bro, I don't have the time to explain to you every single method in which satire can be used. Go look it up yourself.
All you need to know is that it was all satire, and I don't have a prejudice against astronauts.
Also the reasons that they do it for were irrelevant, I was replying to your [I]exact phrase[/I] with a mirrored phrase about astronauts.
The reasons that they do it for doesn't matter, the only thing that matters was the topic specifically being discussed in the phrase.

But dude, you keep hammering on about them THAT MEANS YOU MUST HAVE SOMETHING AGAINST ASTRONAUTS!!111!

Silly timezones, it's like 11:20 over here.
We'll just have to wait and see, won't we?
Oh wow, It's 5:30 am here.
that sound. :ohdear:
I'm sorry, but he was kind of asking for it.
That's why you do these thing in wide, open spaces!
I remember seeing this on TV a while ago, it's really sad.

The joke behind that stunt is that you fly close by the bridge.
