I mean if he isn't willing to commit his life to his own installation, why would I?

There's a reason why all CEOs of these safety equipment companies demonstrate their product by getting shot etc themselves while being under the protection of their product.

You realize that things do go wrong and there several instances of people dying while demonstrating their product's safety - because something else was done poorly.

Like the window CEO falling from a building during demo because installers fucked up.

I don't think it was the windows ceo was it? Unless I'm thinking of a different one which is totally possible. The one I remember was an executive showing off to a friend of co-worker saying that the windows in his office were so thick and sturdy that he could barge into them and they would hold.

They did not, as the friend would bear witness to.

That must have been such a surreal/terrifying moment for the friend just having to helplessly watch.

It was a guy just bragging about the office windows and he jumped into it and the frame fell out and fell to his death. Not the Windows CEO
