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’m fairly confident they have some kind of immunity against such suits. Unless someone has a source to prove me wrong.

Isn't suicide illegal in most parts of the world?

Yep. Most countries have decriminalized it very recently. It used to be punishable with jail and still is in some places.

Yes and … actually that’s a great point. The ff is stopping an illegal act. I hadn’t considered that.
