[Judge Smails]

I wonder if as he was crashing down he thought: "Well, isn't this nice."

That. Or something along the lines of: "Oh fuck, I'm going to die in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ..." splat.

[Barnaby Jones]

"I've made a huge mistake."

Kind of extremely sad. Beyond the obvious irony of his death, he seemed like a pretty amazing guy.

Like rain on your wedding day

[IamFogHat]

He should have taken the stair car.

[grlNIN]

I am amused by the fact that plummeting to his death must have looked like a giant exclamation point.

[ihaveabadmonkey]

why didn't he just jump off? It's not like he had to open a door or window to get out.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Mall cops will be wearing black armbands over the sad news

[Judge Smails]

And he's riding a Segway to heaven.

And he's riding a Segway to heaven.

Did you feel good about that one?

[Judge Smails]

Did you feel good about that one?

Sometimes all of my thoughts are misgiven.

It was a good one.

Don't see this as remotely ironic tho.

[Fugitive]

Kind of extremely sad. Beyond the obvious irony of his death, he seemed like a pretty amazing guy.

He was totally amazing--he wanted to get education straightened out in the U.S. and get everyone thinking creatively. He knew how moronic everyone has gotten but tried to approach that in a positive way.

Didn't a number of both the Baskin/Robbins families die from health problems related to the over indulgent consumption of ice cream?

that one too is ironic.

[Barnaby Jones]

He was totally amazing--he wanted to get education straightened out in the U.S. and get everyone thinking creatively. He knew how moronic everyone has gotten but tried to approach that in a positive way.

He thought everyone else was "moronic," but he couldn't figure out how to jump off of a slow moving, open air vehicle before it plummeted off of a cliff? Judge not lest ye be unable to control your wuss-mobile!

that too is ironic
in addition to moronic

[Willmore]

that too is ironic
in addition to moronic

Not to mention chronic, sardonic, sonic, bubonic, demonic, harmonic, ionic, laconic, masonic, mnemonic, platonic, and tectonic.

This story makes me sad for the fact that tragedy has been misused for so long, this death is both tragic and ironic.
