I recently rewatched the Incredibles since I was a kid. It hit me HARD watching that opening because legit I could see that whole suit happening, especially since his neck got broken? There's a reason we need those laws and it's sad.

Or we could let people die if they want to. Crazy, I know.

Bruh, he jumped off a building in the movie. What happens if he lands on someone’s car, or a pedestrian? Also, what about the PTSD of all those who saw the attempt go through?

I agree that assisted suicide should be a thing, but society can’t just let mofos just jump off buildings in a crowded areas

I agree, but we don't let people die in general if we notice it. Even in the privacy of their homes.
