Ben Siegel Incident
Anyone hear about the incident that happened during his Midnight contest of eating roaches.
Apparently guy that won ate a crap load of roaches, and wast feeling so good afterwards. Ended up vomiting and then aspirating, which resulted in his death. From the information posted and surfacing said there was a waiver signed but no EMS on stand by for help when things like this happen. Anymore info anyone knows about, for something so big as a death to be barely surfacing is weird.. |

It's a really terrible thing :( I actually read about it for the first time in this thread: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...d.php?t=353725
It seems that topix poster is blaming the lack of EMS personnel, but it sounds like the man died some time after leaving their shop, so having EMS there wouldn't have had anything to do with it. At least, that's how it sounds from people who were there that night (on their facebook). Surely in other circumstances having EMS there just for safety would have been a good idea though. Weirdly, the facebook status is calling him Eddie Archbold :shrug01: |

But either way, Ive never been or seen a contest resulting in eating not havign EMS on hand period. Thing is, he could of been allergic t othe roaches and so on. Probably never know without reports from ME. |
I personally dislike the direction the topix thread is going.

Here you have people volunteering to do something to try and receive a reward. Something of value. Free will people. You engaged in a act freely. Personal responsibility used to be common place. Now, the first thought is always how can I hold someone else accountable for my actions. |
It will be interesting to see how this all pans out. Since this just happened it will be time before anything is released with a Cause.

I agree that it should be a matter of personal responsibility, but I'm really interested to see if this will have an impact on future events like this. It's sad that someone is dead after what should have been a fun event, but here's the words of someone who also participated in the competition:

So obviously the deceased was up and talking for awhile before he died. So what does the lack of an emt have to do with anything?

You mean people inhale while vomiting? Brilliant! Actually I have been involved in a couple of eating contest ( super worms and gold fish) and a chugging contest. I can't remember if emts were present or not.
So what would the Emt have done again? He was just vomiting. He was obviously well to ask his idiot friend to drive him home. So let's blame his friend since you feel like hanging someone. My nephew inhale a tic tac and it was in his lung for two weeks and three visits before the doctors actually found it. It landed him in the icu for two weeks. |
