Nobody deserves American health care bills. Nobody.
Agreed. Im fine with my tax dollars going to doctors for practice fixing dumbasses before getting to me.
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.
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
Mmm spinal compression injuries.
Just decompress it with one of these.
I was expecting one of those Addam's family contraption, but this is similar i guess.
At least his brain is not injured.
But hopefully this knocked some sense into it.
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!
140m high and 200km/h or 500 liters/second. Close look on YT for the non GVA people https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmt9GQSCcCU
I really don't get it, you can feel its power when you get to the barrier. This thing reeks of "do not get closer" feeling.
Yet, that dude decided to kiss it. He could have won the 2023 Darwin award but he was very lucky.
Sorry I forgot to convert the 500 litres per second
You guys over the pond, that's 2.28 washing machines per second
But how many football fields is that?
It was around 8:00 p.m. when 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.
If I'm reading this right, did he get tossed backwards, not learn anything, then decide to go for it again?
Yup, he did.
First he tried a kiss, got rejected, so he went for a hug that sent him flying.
No, he definitely learned something. He learned that he had to hold on to it to resist.
Then, he learned that he's an idiot.
That was my take lmaooo
That was my take lmaooo

First actual example of the intrusive thoughts winning. Theyre supposed to keep you from harm.
Please somebody find the video
"20 minutes"? Is that some news show like "60 minutes" but shorter?
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.
You got your answer for the 20 minutes.
But we do have a show named 52 minutes, and it is usually a little bit shorter than 52 minutes...
Fucked around and found out.
Twice
I can't find where it says this was the second time in the article. Can you quote it?

It starts literally 2 sentences in, you can't find it?
Ah, I read that as part of the same incident. I see now what was meant by twice - not really a repeat offender.
Sounds like he was on drugs/having a psychotic break tbh
Or a concussion/disorientation after the first time.
Or a very weird choice of attempted suicide.
I guess this will always remain appropiate.

Lmao awesome
Is that an accident, though?
This doesn't seem like an accident at all.
Look. I'm famous.
