Oh I dunno.
I can think of a few "celebrities" - quite a few in fact, now I think about it - I'd be perfectly happy to see packed into helicopters and crashed.
Justin Bieber.
Wand Erection.
Nicolas Cage.
Almost all politicans.
The list goes on...

Ok Agree with 2nd and 4th on your list.
But why Justin and Nicholas?

Seriously? 
Or do I detect a hint of sarcasm?

No sarcasm here.
Justin is a teenager who found early success and it got to his head - he needs guidance and being raised properly. As many other teenage "stars". Besides there are a lot of kids that aren't celebrities and are stupid/misbehaved. We just notice celebrities more, since it comes with the territory.
Don't get what is wrong with Nicholas though. Sure, he takes any part he is offered and sometimes it's a disaster, but if you look at it, every actor has a few bad roles at some point in their career.
Unless I am unaware of something ?

Thank god you didn't call him(?) a singer! 
Here's an upvote for you.

Hehe, thank you
Well he was singing until the music industry(?) got a hold of him.
Even though he was far too young to be really called a singer.
It's really a very ironic situation in my opinion.

Whilst it may be true that he's a victim, he's at least as much a victim of his avaricious mother that treated him like a prince and pushed him into this bizarre celebrity dimension to vicariously feed her own ego.
Since then we have been victims of his awful pop wailing and his ever more objectionable behaviour.
I say put him out of his misery in a helicopter so that our own misery be relieved. But include his "mom" on the ride!

Nah, they aren't victims. I never meant to say that. Justin decided what he is for himself, just like everyone else does.
If drugs are involved, that is his problem and does not make him a victim. Being stupid/arrogant does not make you a victim.
I just wanted to point out, that it's very common for people to write things about certain celebrities and notice them more, while "normal" people are not really all that different. There are smart celebrities, we just don't get the daily gossip of them because, well they are smart 
Also seeing x celebrity mentioned everywhere because someone hates him/her so much is just giving him/her fame through infamy. I don't get the irrational hatred behind this.
And I'm not saying it's inappropriate or that I am offended by anything, far from it, just want a debate

We're all victims of our upbringing, (his was just worse than most), choices, peer pressure and life in general. It's quite true that how you deal with it all is what defines you.
Quote: don't get the irrational hatred behind this.
That's easy to explain: a) we hate that which causes us pain (I think that's actually pretty rational!) b) humour: never let facts get in the way of a joke, especially when the object of the joke is subject to clause a)

Well in that perspective we all are and none of us are then.
I reserve the word victim for someone who has it worse than most people.
For example: I had bad things happen to me(who hasn't) and life wasn't fair in some important aspects, but I don't consider myself a victim - even though I did wallow in self-pity for a year in high school thinking I was one.

Very well put.

Ok, if b is the case, then maybe I have seen this joke too much - quite possible.

Accidents do happen. Anytime, not just while making TV shows. Even staying in bed and not going outside for any reason will save you, as most people still die in bed.

"Leben ist lebensgefährlich" would get lost in translation.
I reckon that sh*t happens, but I bet with you they hired inexperienced pilots who completely f***ed up, for the sake of saving some money, and thereby killed ten people. The same company had another game participant die two years ago on one of their game filming. Either these people are damn unlucky, or somewhere someone is lacking required competences.
Accidents do happen, but geeez... for a damn reality-TV-show...

Hovering a helicopter is not easy, especially near the ground and with a second helicopter nearby.
The own 'air cushion' while hovering in ground effect can cause sudden instability and that of the other helicopter complicates things even more. You would need the reflexes of a cat to keep a helicopter completely steady under such conditions.

Stop those reality shows - especially the dangerous ones.
Adventure with nature doesn't work always; and as you say, not worth it for just a TV show.

The biggest shame is that it happened on the wrong show.

I don't.
I gave up cigarettes over ten years ago, and haven't touched dope for must be twenty years or more.
In fact, no illegal substances have been partaken of in at least twenty years now...surprising, really, when I think just how much I used to consume... 
I don't even drink seriously anymore.
And before anyone gets started, I'm not on solvents, glue, paint, nail varnish thinner, mushrooms, or into licking toads either!

Current performance is no indicator of past history: I used to consume ridiculous amounts of narcotics, but I gave up one by one, and haven't used anything for well over a decade.
