      “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.

      Education is extremely important.

            The coroner is a world class genius at coroning. Once he walked past a graveyard and coroned all 748 bodies without digging a single one up, all off the top of his head, and all exactly correct.

                          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. :))

                                  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?
