I feel like "she died doing what she loved" is a pretty hollow statement when her final moments were probably sheer horror that something was going terribly wrong. I think the intent is that plenty of people die not getting to find and practice their passion. Jessi did, which is a good thing. People are taking a positive from a tragedy. --- Though the fear of death is a common one, the fear of life is a more rational one. <cite>Cheese_Crackers posted [p:926658826] in MythBuster...

I feel like "she died doing what she loved" is a pretty hollow statement when her final moments were probably sheer horror that something was going terribly wrong. This could apply to every single instance of this then, and it should never be spoken again. Steve Irwin died doing what he loved, but in the moment he had a manta ray stinger lodged in his chest, i'm sure he wasn't saying "Oh BOY this is a lot of fun!" Sometimes it's just best to find the positive in a negative situation. I'd rather not say "That's a shame, I bet she died horribly and it was a miserable way to go" that doesn't help anyone or anything. --- Ten million dollars on a losing campaign, Twenty million starving and writhing in pain.

I feel like "she died doing what she loved" is a pretty hollow statement when her final moments were probably sheer horror that something was going terribly wrong. On one hand you aren't wrong, I'm sure there wasn't anything particularly pleasant about her actual death, but when your job description is to get into experimental cars and try to go faster than any one ever, it's absolutely an end you have to be aware of and comfortable with or you wouldn't keep doing it. I'm sure if told her, that she could be guaranteed to live to 100 so long as she never raced again, she'd turn down that deal in a heart beat. --- Gheb is my other account <cite>Compsognathus posted [p:926659010] in MythBuster...

She could've lived a safe life doing mundane safe things. But that's not Jessi Combs. She lived life doing what she loved, if that meant risking her life; she gladly did it. It sucks what happened, everybody is going to miss her. But she got to live her life on her terms, the way she wanted. She knew what could've happened, and this is just the sad outcome. She'll be missed by all her fans and those who knew her.
