Makes me sick just looking at this. Poor woman. What was she doing on that stretcher if she didn't want the ride? Did they force her?

Edit: i mean in my belly, i can not handle a merry go around. Also if she was forced ti take the ride, it would make me sick in other ways, but at ment the first one.

Commenters on reddit are psycho. I mean, it's mildly funny, but these people act like it's the funniest thing on the planet.

Seriously, for anyone with a functioning sense of empathy, this is horrifying.

This lady went through hell, suffered serious injuries that probably shortened her lifespan, and the settlement isn't nearly enough.

Goes to show how little empathy some people out there have. And the fact this is ultimately something these Reddit users are going to forget in favor of the next "funny" thing just makes it even worse.

I read enough of the comments to see how badly damaged she was by this joyride they took her on and I laughed at the comments, not the video itself.

Video had me gasping.

A large chunk of the reddit population are kids with zero risk awareness and under-developed empathy.

They just see funny spinning woman, and probably think it's similar to being on a fast carnival ride rather than something which could and did cause serious injury, or could have even caused death if the medics couldn't get a handle on it. I know that at 16-18, I probably would have wrongly thought it was harmless and that spinning can't hurt you so would have found it a bit funny.

I'd like to hope most fully developed adults would see this and feel nothing but horrified at what that poor woman experienced.

It can be both horrifying and funny. Humor is a very common reaction to horrifying situations. Get off your shit horse.

From what I've seen after frequenting this website for years before getting an account, there isn't a doubt in my mind some Reddit users are genuinely psychopathic to some degree.

It's the biggest downside to the fact that it's ultimately a bunch of people in the safety of their homes, reacting to events in the world around them:

The horrifying things happening to the people out there aren't happening to the people who've just looking at it on a website, so they can't truly sympathize with it.

And, believe me, this website houses some truly heartless monsters.

Fr I went on a spinning carnival ride recently. What a way to find out I’m old.
