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 has already been made so no need for another

Have to agree with parmnion and Annie here, he was 18 years old, a bloody kid, someones child. ****ing hell. Glad none of you ever did anything dangerous or silly when you were teenagers

[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

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

[Cherry Christmas]

Need to cut all the Southern members a bit of slack its going to be 33 today, Parm is prob sweating over someones Samsung somewhere

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.
