    “You know, at some point, safety is just pure waste,” Rush told CBS’ David Pogue during an episode of his “Unsung Science” podcast. “I mean, if you just want to be safe, don’t get out of bed, don’t get in your car, don’t do anything. At some point, you’re going to take some risk, and it really is a risk-reward question.”

    There’s a slight difference between driving in a car and going to the bottom of the ocean in tin can. These are not equivalent.

    This dumbass earned his Darwin award, it’s just too bad he had to take four other people with him who were lied to about the safety of the expedition.
