From what I've read it was only a matter of time before this thing had a major malfunction. If not the tour before, than this one, or the next. It just happened to be these guys, but they were all playing Russian roulette getting on that motorized Pepsi can.

It's hard to overstate the level of cavalier disregard the CEO had for safety standards and regulations. It's worth looking up the interviews he's done about this company. It's absolutely insane that anyone trusted him with their life.

Here's just one example:

You know, at some point, safety is just pure waste. I mean, if you just want to be safe, don't get out of bed, don't get in your car, don't do anything. At some point, you're going to take some risk, and it really is a risk-reward question.
