I used to work in the skydiving industry. All of the skydivers had the "yolo bro!" attitude but it was amazing how many gofundmes and cries for sympathy came when their risky decisions got them hurt or killed. Not condemning people that live for the adrenaline rush, but don't go out of your way to feel bad when those decisions catch up to them.
@@rathersleepthanstayawakezzz yeah the high on life channel irked me. First they encourage people to live life to the fullest and travel like people can just afford that.

Stobe the Hobo was killed when his backpack got snatched by a passing train, dragging him a considerable distance. His remains were found much later by passersby.
People* whose need for external validation was so out of balance that it lead them into doing dangerously stupid things. These people didn't need admiration, they needed help. *With the possible exception of Jim Stobe.
I also don't understand why a youtube channel with 600k needs to promote the family's gofundme. Just pay for it in full with your channel's revenue. I am not crazy about promoting gofundmes because at the end of the day there are toooons of scams and you don't really know where the money is going.
2:55 - If I was one of those risk taker types I think I would want to go out in a more spectacular way than diving down underwater in a horse mask and not re-appearing, to be honest.
It is difficult to find redeeming qualities or feel too much pity about most of these accidents. Honestly...can you imagine being the family of any of these folks? "Yeah, my kid died swimming in a whirlpool while wearing a horse head." It's f'n hard to wrap your head around. The families deserved better. Life is fragile.
because you only focused on the last parts of their life and completely dismiss everything else. hate the actions, not the person (unless that person actually deserves hate)
@@floof6896 I mean that action was a pretty stupid fucking action. It also resulted in them dying young, a pretty profound thing, especially when you have to bring it up in conversation.
@@floof6896 I have no hatred whatsoever towards these people. Just sympathy towards the families, who have to deal with intense pain because of stupidity. I'm more focused on the damage left behind...over nothing.
It’s probably gotta be difficult to convey your guilt mourning a person who died in a such a way and explain it to another person…because that other person has to like…under react and be serious with you in the moment.
I assume you reference the pic of him with that younger couple. Those were just some dirty kids he met at a hopout, he hung out and chatted with them and their dog for a while. Not his family, and although he had family and loved people that he left behind, he didn't have kids.
"UA-camrs Who Were Willing to Die for Content" would also be a suitable title. Considering that they died while doing ridiculous things in order to create content and it never got uploaded to their channels, you could technically say they died for nothing and it wouldn't exactly be wrong.
Life is too precious to try out these stunts because, people ultimately move on to a new entertainment once someone passes. The ones who suffer is the family which misses them every day. Be wise.
Please don’t play on train tracks. If not for yourself, then for the drivers. Seeing someone on the tracks as a driver is like seeing someone jump in front of your car, and not knowing if you will be able to avoid hitting them. The drivers also don’t know what your intentions are, since jumping in front of trains is a major method of self-deletion. It affects their mental health and many drivers quit for this very reason. I remember a train driver in my country said that if you work with trains for a number of years, it’s just a matter of time before you hit someone, and the results are usually incredibly gruesome.
I agree. I pity them but this is just stupid behavior. Most of these people just wanted more and more clicks on their videos, resulting in more and more dangerous things.
Please never stop uploading, I never miss an upload of yours. Always full of interest and suspense, I can't get enough!! I love the content, never give up. :) -Aran
We need to stop celebrating people who put their lives at risk. It affects other people. When people say " they died doing what they loved" just doesn't cut it, all just for likes and subscribers. So sad.

Your life, your choice. Ofc, the value of the outcomes are subjective to you. Regrets are unforeseeable, as you as a person, along with your values, will change over time. So, I guess… Do what you think is best according to you. If you got family/friends who value you, try considering them too. But it’s your life, so I guess, do what you want
its an AI voice and an AI that compiles these videos in like a half hour or so and releases them on a schedule. Ive heard this same AI voice on several other channels, sometimes with a different cadence or pitch or tone but its AI.
@@StainsStainsStainsIt most certainly is, but that part doesn't bother me, as this is one of the few channels where they don't lie or exaggerate. The narration is often logical and rational, which is extremely rare for a youtube channel of this nature.
I actually saw Stobe in person but at the time I had no idea who he was. I was leaving a store and there was this super charismatic dude with a group of people around him near the entrance. He said he was doing 'a musical adventure across the US'. He was actually pretty tall in person!
A guy who sees a huge swirl in the water, dives into the source of the swirl, got drowned by the swirl, and got remembered by the church members for his bravery? What is wrong with the world?

"The update to Jim Stobie (Stobe the Hobo) Our friend James Stobie, aka Stobe the Hobo, died Wednesday the 8th of November, 2017. He was trapped on a bridge with an on coming Amtrak train, and while he got to the side of the bridge the best he could, the train caught his backpack and and pulled him into the train. The police identified his remains from fingerprints from the Coast Guard records Friday, and notified his parents. A friend wrote this under his last video
The first entry felt like needles punctured my heart. My uncle met a similar fate to whirlpools when he and his friends went out and took a picture in a dangerous body of water. In the picture taken, you could even see the whirlpool closing in on them- and because he was drunk at that time, his life later got taken by the waters. Don't do dangerous stuff for the sake of it.
There's a big difference between living life to the fullest and just straight up playing with death. Some of these guys were honestly just dumb and irresponsible, and got what was inevitably coming to them. I feel bad for their friends and family.

The first little clip from the train hopping guy legit just game me a Memory flashbang. The bridge he was on for a short clip over the train tracks is my home town. Crazy to see
Or they died happy and lived a fulfilling life doing what they loved... Just because they didn't die of old age doesn't mean they didn't know the value of life..
There was a famous Asian daredevil that would climb to the top of highrises and hang over the edge. In his last video you can see him hanging over the edge of the building doing pull-ups. Then he starts to struggle and falls out of the frame of the video. Sad
A buddy of mine, Lewis Stevenson in England, was kind of a daredevil. He was one of the ones who convinced me to make my first ever overseas trip from America to the UK. He died recently climbing the tallest bridge in Spain just for a thrill. I wish I had the chance to meet him in person.
Jacob was a good friend and work mate he really was a gentle soul. I was supposed to be working with him the day after this happened then I got the phone call saying he had passed. RIP mate.
Stobe the hobo is one of the greatest UA-cam channels that ever existed. It was more than just train hopping. He was smart, funny, philosophical. It’s sad because in the end he knew that the time was up and he wanted to start doing something different with his life.He was a good person and a coastie veteran. he played all the music in his videos. Definitely worth checking out.
I used to watch his videos and remember when he kept mentioning changing from the hopping scene. He had a couple last trips planned but all of a sudden the uploads stopped. When the word got out it was hard to believe at first
Life is of course all about calculated risks, but the people in this video were literally just tempting fate. Feel sorry for their families that now have to carry this grief.
Another train hopper that sadly passed recently is Hobo Shoestring. From what i could find he drowned in a lake a few months back. His videos were always entertaining to watch along with Hobo Stobe. RIP to both
Not to be rude but Greg should be remembered as a prime example of why you shouldn’t mess around with/chance an oncoming train. The train always wins.

The train part doesn’t make sense. How is that supposed to improve your workout? which was his whole content for his Channel

stupidity
All of this is a prime example of narcissism and stupidity.
Some of these cases are not 'people living full life or baldly', but just people doing stupid and risky stuff for views. That is not living the life to the fullest but risking it in a dumb way - the exact opposite. People calling them 'legends' is really childish and weird.
I live life baldly. I blame my mother's genes.

Yeah I don’t have much sympathy for a guy that gets killed by a train while playing around on train tracks.
I also don't understand why a youtube channel with 600k needs to promote the family's gofundme. Just pay for it in full with your channel's revenue. I am not crazy about promoting gofundmes because at the end of the day there are toooons of scams and you don't really know where the money is going.
2:55 - If I was one of those risk taker types I think I would want to go out in a more spectacular way than diving down underwater in a horse mask and not re-appearing, to be honest.
It is difficult to find redeeming qualities or feel too much pity about most of these accidents. Honestly...can you imagine being the family of any of these folks? "Yeah, my kid died swimming in a whirlpool while wearing a horse head." It's f'n hard to wrap your head around. The families deserved better. Life is fragile.
because you only focused on the last parts of their life and completely dismiss everything else. hate the actions, not the person (unless that person actually deserves hate)
@@floof6896 I mean that action was a pretty stupid fucking action. It also resulted in them dying young, a pretty profound thing, especially when you have to bring it up in conversation.
@@floof6896 I have no hatred whatsoever towards these people. Just sympathy towards the families, who have to deal with intense pain because of stupidity. I'm more focused on the damage left behind...over nothing.
It’s probably gotta be difficult to convey your guilt mourning a person who died in a such a way and explain it to another person…because that other person has to like…under react and be serious with you in the moment.
@@FreyaEinde tough situation all around. just terrible
The saddest past to me is the hobo guy had kids. Do what you want. Fine. But once you have kids, you should commit to being there for them.
I m not sure its his kids. Nephews maybe, on his tomb its only written "son brother and uncle"
Yeah stobe didn’t have kids or even a girlfriend
RIP Stobe. I still watch his amazing videos.
Tombstone said brother, son and nephew or something like that. Don't think those were his kids.
I assume you reference the pic of him with that younger couple. Those were just some dirty kids he met at a hopout, he hung out and chatted with them and their dog for a while. Not his family, and although he had family and loved people that he left behind, he didn't have kids.
"UA-camrs Who Were Willing to Die for Content" would also be a suitable title. Considering that they died while doing ridiculous things in order to create content and it never got uploaded to their channels, you could technically say they died for nothing and it wouldn't exactly be wrong.
I loved watching Stobe , watching his videos got me through a very shitty time in my life, I will always remember him.
“You can only swim around whirlpools for so long until you end up drowning” kinda sounds like a proverb.
Life is too precious to try out these stunts because, people ultimately move on to a new entertainment once someone passes.
The ones who suffer is the family which misses them every day.
Be wise.

@AsifAli-od1cf 😊🙏🏻
Please don’t play on train tracks. If not for yourself, then for the drivers. Seeing someone on the tracks as a driver is like seeing someone jump in front of your car, and not knowing if you will be able to avoid hitting them. The drivers also don’t know what your intentions are, since jumping in front of trains is a major method of self-deletion.
It affects their mental health and many drivers quit for this very reason.
I remember a train driver in my country said that if you work with trains for a number of years, it’s just a matter of time before you hit someone, and the results are usually incredibly gruesome.
Let this be a lesson to all of you. You DO NOT horse around near whirlpools.
That's freaking great😂😂😂

We need to stop celebrating people who put their lives at risk. It affects other people. When people say " they died doing what they loved" just doesn't cut it, all just for likes and subscribers. So sad.

"The update to Jim Stobie (Stobe the Hobo) Our friend James Stobie, aka Stobe the Hobo, died Wednesday the 8th of November, 2017.
