I know there isn't much sympathy for the ultra wealthy around here but keep in mind that there's a young guy on there who was likely just going along with his dad's foolish idea for privileged leisure.

I feel badly for him most.
Absurdly wealthy people doing absurdly dangerous things. It's like a billionaire crashing their Ferrari while speeding. It is sad, just like anyone losing their life well before their time. But I kind of feel worse for the guy in a Honda Civic who dies in a routine commute to work just trying to scrape by, or any random person that gets killed just doing normal everyday things. I am sure some ultra-wealthy people are nice, but spending $250k for some vain thrill experience, the cost of which is offensive to normal people, it's hard to feel too bad.
