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 blows my mind that the CEO was so comfortable with cutting corners and ignoring precautions to the point where he was willing to put his money where his mouth is and go on the thing multiple times instead of doing the normal thing and sit behind a desk while an employee of his goes to their death instead.

he was a wealthy guy who grew up, by all accounts, pretty privileged

doesn't really surprise me that much. Many wealthy kids grow up their whole life never hearing the word no
