There is a great sense of unpredictability about life and what can happen next. The notion of not being able to know what is about to come is something that some people truly enjoy, but there are some who despise being in the unknown.

The saying ‘You only live once’ has given people the will and motivation to take risks and forego the worry of “what ifs.” A viral video clip showed the moment a group of friends took their moment of fun a tad bit too far and paid a heavy price.
