What's wrong with letting people win darwin awards?

  Whatever happened to empathy? Those people don’t deserve to die despite making mistakes or being careless. Many of them probably have kids or other family that love and rely on them.

      Not totally sure how that applies here, since I don’t think anyone would argue that having a few extra warnings is somehow slowing down progress. I also disagree with the article for other reasons. The idea that something being the first priority means it’s the only priority is nonsense. Safety can be weighted the highest out of all the priorities while still being balanced with the other priorities.

  Nothing. The problem starts when they kill other people doing it, which is unfortunately very common with automotive collisions. It's like when someone gets in my car, sits behind me and says they won't put a seatbelt on, they are fine with taking the risk - to which my reply is that it's fine, but I'm not fine with taking that risk, because in a collision your limp body will go directly through my seat and kill me, even though I have my seatbelt on. So yes, kill yourself if you wish, but don't take others with you.
