Don't think most people think like that even the jokers, kids make mistakes, he was 18 who didn't make a mistake at that age, the good news is most of us survive to tell the tale

A tragic accident, doesn't sit well that people are making jokes about someone losing their life in this way.

it would equally sit funny if everyone pretended to be either upset or particularly bothered other than in a "oh that is sad but he ho" type way

"Oh that is sad but hey ho" is a bit different to "death by being dumb" but whatever....

one person made a "joke" and that was not about this particular case ?

[Livia]

It is awful... it was also pretty stupid. And surely this is for discussion, it's not a remembrance thread. Just sayin'..... love you though, Niamh x

18 year old does something a bit dangerous because they think they're immortal is hardly a new or unusual phenomenon though, it's been happening since the beginning of time but as Cherie said luckily most times they survive. I have an 18 year old, I'd be pretty upset if someone made comments like some of the ones in here if she'd died

[Livia]

Well... it's a discussion thread on a discussion forum. And people are going to discuss it. And not always in a positive way.

And that's what I'm doing also?

[Nicky91]

most teenagers just want to have fun


now also a 17 year old guy Koen, at garda lake in italy, he just went one bus stop further to assist one girl getting safely home to the camping resort she had been staying at and then Koen slipped, and fell into a small stream, broke his ankle and face down unconscious and he drowned

which is also a ''silly'' accident to call for some, but i just feel sad for him just being a good samaritan bringing a girl home and then having a fatal accident, i cried when it was confirmed that it was him
