Also, play stupid games win stupid prizes. Sucks for his friends and family, but I don't feel much sympathy for him.

And if he were still here, I doubt he would want your sympathy. I'm speaking generally here as I don't know the specifics of what happened and you don't either, but sometimes it's fun to take risks. That's just living, to see that line, calculate the risks, and proceed anyway. Of course my risk threshold has changed significantly since I was 19, but I still take risks in my travels and action sports that you would probably so intellectually label 'retarded.' And I'm speculating here but I bet if I were to see your life I would see a hopelessly boring, prison-like succession of totally risk adverse, cubicle enclosed groundhog days safely leading to a long slow death in a hospital many years from now. Which path is right? How does one live their life? Who am I to judge? My point is you're a POS for offering your judgement in these circumstances.
