I can take pleasure in someone else doing something retarded and getting hurt for it. Watching some poor women destroy her ACL on the leg machine, not so much.

To follow your formula, the woman using the leg machine is doing a retarded stupid thing by taking on too much weight. She is, techincally, someone else.

What I'm saying is, I don't get what you are saying.

She didn't seem to be having a problem pushing it before, so I don't think it's "too much". It was just a nasty accident.

That the hurt should be proportional to the level of stupidity, I guess. Someone crossing the street, not looking, and then getting pasted is about as schadenfruedy as that video.

You'd be doing us a favor if you move (not copy) your reply to the OSHA thread. It seems very very OSHA and the only freude anyone may be getting from this particular schaden is not the kind of freude one should want in a human society.

There is an OSHA thread? Oh god it is in GBS.

Ah, ok gotcha. The punishment should fit the crime, so to speak. Yea? If so, I agree.


It'd be like someone coming up to pick a fight with you, and while you are distracted one of his boys comes up from behinds and punches you in the temple and your head falls like 5 to 6 feet to concerete. Ugh, could you imagine how unfair that would be!

Instead, a better outcome would be someone coming up behind the person and, I dunno, maybe pantings them. Definitely not something that results in stiches.

Yeah, both the video and analogy are horrifying, not schadenfreude.

I've seen an old guy get hit by a car at work in real life. My reaction was not "Heh, hilarious. :smug:" it was "Holy poo poo, that's horrible. :gonk:"

No, the way you use the machine is to avoid locking your legs out. Normally, your quadriceps take most of the weight, and being the massive meaty muscles they are, don't have issues. Once you lock your legs out, your quadriceps are no longer involved in holding up the weight, leaving the majority of weight on your ACL. In her case, this resulted in her leg folding in one itself like a piece of paper (:gonk:).

I dunno. Generally, schadenfreude is for when retribution happens with stupid mistakes and/or assholes, not really in cases where it leaves permanent damage or death even for an rear end in a top hat or simply an honest mistake. If you feel schadenfreude for the latter, that probably means you yourself are a piece of poo poo rear end in a top hat.

Example: flinging your skateboard at the ground and having it deck you in the nuts is a stupid mistake. Lady twisting her knees backwards due to over-exerting on an exercise machine is an honest mistake.

You can see the security guys hand, so highly doubt that.

(he was fully conscious btw, and could see him still fighting on the stands after he was hit. I think he just finally admitted defeat.)
