Come on. Of course standing on a skylight is a stupid thing to do, and I think a university can only do so much to prevent accidents caused by people doing stupid things. But mocking someone's premature death like this is just shitty. A hell of a lot of people do things this stupid in university and manage to escape unscathed, and it makes no sense that pure luck makes the difference between whether they get high-fives for it or whether people say their death made the world better. Seriously, even if you really think this guy was literally too dumb to live and deserved what he got, it's incredibly insensitive to say so in a public forum that any grieving friend or relative could see.
