Festival spectators ask for a refund after human cannonball's death.

dailymail- Spectators who witnessed the human cannonball tragedy that left a young man dead asked for their money back after the rest of the show was cancelled, it has emerged.
Matt Cranch, 24, who had been a stuntman for only a week, hit the ground head first as the net meant to break his fall collapsed.
As friends paid tribute to the young stuntman, some of those who watched the tragedy unfold told of their disgust at the behaviour of others in the audience.
They revealed that some demanded a refund of their £12 admission fee when the rest of the show at the Kent County showground, near Maidstone, was cancelled.
'What a disgustingly shameful selection of people we have in Kent. How dare they demand a refund when someone has lost their life?' the Mirror reported one man, Harry, telling his local newspaper.
'I am ashamed to be a Kentish lad, born and bred, if people and their animalistic attitude towards money and getting a refund overrules the fact that something had gone terribly wrong.'
Peter Tupper, 35, from Maidstone, told the Daily Star: 'You heard people whingeing. Within five minutes of the accident they started walking out, saying they wanted their money back.'
Yesterday friends said Mr Cranch was a ‘thrill-seeker’ who opted out of his promising academic career and his conventional middle-class upbringing.

These people that asked for their money back are absolutely despicable. I mean, just total dirt bags. Real human scum. Witnessing the human cannonball plummet to his death has got to be the most incredible thing that is ever going to happen at an event like this, so I think they more than got their money's worth. So the show ended early, big fucking deal. What did they miss at the end, a stupid elephant standing on two legs? A bunch of lame clowns stuffed in a little car? A bunch of fruits on a trapeze? Who gives a shit? I guarantee nothing would've been crazier than the tragic death of a daredevil. These people should forget about their refunds and realize that they are going to have a fantastic story to tell for the rest of their lives. And you can't put a price tag on that.

p.s. The story says that the dude was only a stuntman for a week. Does that mean that he'd only been shot out of a cannon for a week, or does it mean that he'd only been doing stunts of any kind for a week? It seems to me like you would want to work your way up to being the human cannonball. Like maybe he should've done a couple of pratfalls, or jumped out of a 2nd floor window or something. You know, build up to the cannon.
