No matter what I think about him I feel very sorry he had to go to such lengths for a wedding. Sadly his fiancée has to live with his tragic death.
Who makes a challenge that makes people do something like that?! Their just asking for someone to get hurt or even die…
I'm all for Pro Choice, but accidents when you want to live are horrible.

Why are the opening seconds so funny? I haven't laughed that hard in months. I mean it isn't. But it is. Look I don't have to justify myself

People do this mainly for popularity, in a world where we are little more than numbers.

i'm actually really saddened by this; people with enjoyable lives worth living who die tragic deaths, happens all the time unfortunately

Same. I mean there are even TV shows based on such concepts. Taking a life threatening challenge and fulfilling it. Behind all the theatrics on surface, the core driving force is money. Even I am pro choice but such things should not be attempted mostly when suffering and disability are at stake.

I mean it's SO weird to cold open with the money shot instead of building to it. What nutcake edited this? The most generic 20/20 segment music you've ever heard. Even an element of slapstick to the fall. wOoOps! It's fun. No, this is funny af in presentation despite being conceptually sad. Crank the volume and I swear you even hear the camera operator start to laugh. Kind of mesmerizing
It's certainly tragic for his family and it's questionable as to how responsible it is to offer prize money to sponsor people to do stuff like this... BUT- Wu Wongning was a 'rooftopper'. He regularly performed life threatening stunts by the looks of it- just Google him and in most pictures, he's in a life threatening position. It's difficult to say whether he would have done all that if social media were not a thing. Still- I expect it wasn't only that that motivated him. I expect he enjoyed the challenge and the thrill.
Really- any dangerous sport like that is full of risks. I expect a lot of what he did was actually illegal. Companies probably don't want people falling off the top of their buildings. It's certainly sad but I think a lot of the responsibility has to lie with him. He must have realised the risks. It's worse that he was doing it for money but- if you asked anyone who loves to do dangerous sports if they wanted to be sponsored- I doubt they'd turn it down.

I don't feel sorry for these people, rooftoppers are the dumbest kind of people who lack the instinct of self-preservation and for the sake of money and popularity they are ready to take risks
