      “Died of cardiac arrest during her fall” lol. I’m no doctor, but to die of cardiac arrest within 5 seconds of onset is remarkable.

      I want to know how he knew that.

      Ultimately, everyone dies of "cardiac arrest." For her it was mid-air?

        According to the Genus edition of Trivial Pursuit I played as a kid, everyone dies of lack of oxygen to the brain.

              Though any of these are only approximately true.

              I mean, imagine hugging a 500 megaton neutron bomb when it goes off. All of your cells are vaporized before any such process can materialize.

              Admittedly that is an exceedingly rare cause of death. :))

                And yet metaphorically, that is exactly what Americans did when they elected Biden. Not so rare at all.

                  I don’t know. Joe slayed him, but didn’t vaporize him.

                      When you slice a heart at a post, you're looking clots and obstructions, besides cutting your sections for histological exam.

                      I don't see how in the timeframe specified they could make that diagnosis. I don't know of anything that would show on the post that could back that up, not after the severe trauma experienced from the fall.

                        I’ve never bungee jumped but I feel like if I were about to, I would check about 20 times that the rope around my ankles is connected.

                          I bungee jumped from a hot air balloon in 1991. I was connected.

                            How much insurance does the bungee jump business owner have?

                            Who insures those kind of businesses?
