Another story , though this one is from the past!
Southern Illinois, Shawnee National Forest, has a large series of rock formations known as Garden of the Gods. Rocks similar to what is in the poster. We were on a large organized trail ride, and G.O.T.G. was the lunch location. Lunch was catered and after the lunch a period of an hour or so was given for rest or climbing around as desired.
A girl of about 18 decided to try jumping as illustrated in the poster. She jumped from a rock to another. She forgot she had spurs on and on the landing the spurs hit first and caused her to fall! She fell about 40' or so, instead of several hundred if she had sent the other way. We had to await a helicoptor rescue, move the horses due to prop wash etc.
We later learned her spine was permanently damaged, and she has no feeling or movement from some point in her upper back, down! She still rides but in a special saddle, strapped in! The horse is trained to lie down so they can put her in the saddle and get her out.
As far as pragmatic, I believe each person handles adversity, tragedy, and life as best they can! They handle it in their own way, nobody the same, no right or wrong, just coping, until they determine it is time to move on, and where they move on to is unknown, till it happens! And afterwards, whatever, then almighty judges you!
Of course sometimes society has to arrange for the meeting to be judged !
If dings or more coming so be it ?
