The truly amazing thing, when you stop and really think about it, is not that this little stunt was both insanely stupid and did not actually factor in any possibility of having an ending where someone didn't end up getting seriously injured...

Stupidity like that is proof that overpopulation results in a generally lower IQ curve. I could only dream of becoming a warning label designer to follow people like that around for prospective contracts.
