Read carefully. Nobody called anybody stupid.I just think it's really low rent to call people stupid after an accident. Especially, when that's the only thing they have to say.
A 19 year old died in a accident... how funny, hahaha, lets have a bunch of losers make a bunch of memes and laugh at the victims for entertainment.
And nobody's laughing.
Loss of life is bad. Loss of life in trivial pursuit, easily prevented, even more so.
But, if somebody picks a toy product that can be easily obtained at a store like Best Buy or Walmart, and uses it as a critical part of a control system in a vehicle they intend to take into one of the harshest environments on the planet's surface, just because it's there and quick to obtain because they don't want to test it to the same standards - say, like parts for a training aircraft would be - and because it's cheap, or because they didn't care to do things more cautiously or deliberately, that should raise the suspicions of a prudent man that things may not be well thought out or implemented. [Not speculating that the game controller was a causal or contributing factor in the incident - just that its use should likely have given reason for pause].
