I’ve seen this around a bit, and every single time I can’t stop thinking about when Mr Incredible gets sued for saving that jumper 😂

Edit: you guys are wild, thanks for the updoots and the awards!

I can’t help but think of how traumatizing it would be had he not made the catch. Having to relive someone falling through your arms to their death would be rough.

You're thinking through the viewpoint of a savior, this person didn't want to be saved. He shouldn't have felt guilt if he didn't save them but at some point we need to respect people's decision to opt out.

Humans and rationality are rarely together.

Source is that I am a human that recognizes destructive behavior but still does it.
