My dad once saw that shit live right in front of him. There's a bit of a story behind it so just read me for a bit:

I like downhill mountainbiking so every Summer I go to a couple of mountain resorts that are like 2-3h away from home to go up the mountain with the chairlift/gondola and then go down the trails. Sadly, none of my friends or family likes that stuff so I usually go alone. Sometimes, my dad goes with me and just walks around the mountain and forest for a few hours.

This one time, my dad decided to take the gondola up to the almost-peak of the mountain and then walk up to the actual peak as a lot of people do (easy stuff to do). He saw me start riding down and then he headed there trailing a family (dad, mom and 2 kids) by like 50m. When he could already see the peak, the dad of that family suddenly dropped to the ground without any sort of warning. Some dude nearby knew CPR and tried to revive him for a few minutes to no effect. The medical helicopter arrived like 10 minutes later and the personnel could only confirm his death.

Shit's that weird. One day you might gonna drop dead and nobody will understand why.
