Why all the holier-than-thou criticisms of organic355?
If an incident is significant, why should people not want to see it? People are interested in sport, they're interested in crashes, but as soon as someone loses a life, photo/video relating to this is supposed to be ignored?
Why? Will this sportsman's life be restored if no-one watches the video? Of course not.
Do you assume that everyone who watches a video like this is rubbing their thighs with glee at the horror? Or maybe people just want to know more about an incident they've read about?
anokdale is right. You may feel it inappropriate to watch the video. So don't watch it. But don't lecture people who view it differently to you. You're not saving anyone's life or sparing anyone's suffering – you're just telling others what to do.
A very sad event – a sportsperson losing his life doing what he loved.
(On a related note – Maybe if TV news reporting was more open when reporting on traffic incidents or war events, people would realise the consequences of our collective actions and fewer people would die. But the sanctimony of the masses holds that 'tasteful' TV viewing is more important than people being honestly shown the horrors of the world.)
