In any hobby, or lifestyle, or whatever, if you recognize the risk involved, you do what you can to mitigate it, but you shouldn't feel offended when someone points out that it's more risky than sitting at a desk or watching TV.Thats the thing, when you say "he had it coming" is the same thing as saying "he is an idiot, didnt know what he was doing, and was not being safe and its only a matter of time"
You say that about someone who really likes to play russian roullete.
Sure he may not have been on the better side of the dice if you compare what he did to an office job, but Id hardly say he had it coming.
And its also a pretty shitty attitude towards the recently departed.
I think if someone said of Senna or Villeneuve that they had it coming, you would probably be tempted to punch them in the face. or just stab them.
