Whatever activity you engage in there are very few where there isn't a remote risk of death. This guy was just very unlucky, more so than stupid.

Being in Britain, whenever I go for a walk in the countryside I don't have to worry about suddenly being attacked by a bear. It's not something we tend to worry about.

Nearly everywhere outside the city is known for bears. They just coexist with us for the most part. Cougars(4legged) too. Once in a while one wants a change of diet but not often. Still safer to hike in Griz country than to walk through the core of most cities at night.

Now that is a fine example of Darwinism.

That'd be a great commercial for Nokia. Show some oblivious moron backing toward the edge of a building roof holding up his phone for a selfie, then falling off. Cut to his body hitting the pavement, and the phone falling next to him. Close-up on the phone, still working, showing a selfie of him screaming.

No that's wrong, Bleeding not screaming, focus on the product not it's victims, the blood flowing arround the phone without the noice of excrutiating pain, negative input, flowing blood arround the device and classical music instead of screaming. Screaming won't sell except to the perverted buyer, we ant the docile masses who will fork out for the novelty device, we want burn thier time, not drive them away with screams. What are you doing in the marketing pool. Are you related to someone in the head office?
You can't move tons of poison candy with scream,ing! Are you a fukkin lawyer? Or sumthin?

I am not permitted to give a double thumbs up, such is the poor reward suite here. It's so gladiator like, adulation and life for ripping out a heart. Those wer the good old days, the fifties, chrome, TV Pepsi.

I think you are on to some of the issues unless the phone happened to be a waterproof phone. If not waterproof, the flowing blood may damage it and make it a poor advertising model.

Good. He deserved it. Its a barbaric sport and that is the price. The bull should have won his freedom with that victory.

It`s getting to be a pretty sad world when we start applauding the death of competitors in sports. I`m not sure who the poor fellow harmed.

I wonder if the bulls consider it a 'sport', JLM. It is barbaric as IRBS noted.

Right, give the bull even less ability to defend himself. Besides, half the fun for the blood thirsty crowds that watch this appalling spectacle are there for the gore.

Maybe, maybe not, if so maybe the Calgary and Williams Lake Stampedes should be discontinued! I don`t think there is a unanimous conclusion about this. Thousands attend the Cloverdale Rodeo and the Falkland Rodeo. Regardless, did the man deserve to dieÉ. I certainly don`t think so!
