An absurdly dumb group of friends. It’s exactly this stuff, that leads to the ridiculous “health and safety culture” where I’m looking at that net thinking ‘yeah it’s too small because some moron could easily push someone over the end of it’, when the simple answer is don’t push people towards safety nets.
This article doesn’t make clear that Connor fell over the edge of the safety net; quite an important detail.
Why all the sympathy and kid gloves towards the guy that did it? They were warned not to do it and carried on anyway.
If you got in your car, drunk, and hit somebody who later died, that’s a manslaughter charge, no question. Pushing somebody over the safety net whilst drunk though, despite being warned not to? Bantz, horseplay, just lads being lads.

Bizarre situation.
