Good take on it. I guess I'm quite prejudiced against wealthy people paying to do dangerous shit. Having said that I don't wish them any ill. It just looked like a really dumb thing to begin with. The PC controller on the thing is a bit of a joke tbh.
Wealthy paying to die in ways reserved for workers as a result of an employees negligence.
