Doing death defying stunts is a normal thing for some folks such as entertainment workers as you need to do something to stand out and these kinds of acts normally do. But recently with the hurricane evacuation warnings in Florida there literally are people who are staying behind for the sole purpose of filming themselves in order to hopefully survive and profit from all the attention. Even if you disagree with it, you will likely still check out the person’s work along with the media talking about it.
That is crazy I must say and I don’t see how that would benefit you if the chance of survival is slim. But some people were arguing this is virtually no different than people throwing their life savings into an investment or business that may or may not work out. Like there, if it didn’t work out then you effectively ruined your life. Although, the obvious counter would be money you can always earn back versus if you died then there is no press continue button.
Of course, I have never been in a situation where I felt I had to do something that extreme just to try and make it per se. If anything in these situations, I could probably achieve the same effect such as by thinking of places to set sturdy cameras to capture the whole ordeal which would likely accomplish the same type of attention if I was really going for that to stand out.
