      It’s like when that dude crossed this bridge game in which he had to hop on separated blocks, but he was tethered to this cable in case he fell. Except that when he crossed to the other side, whoops, the tether was not locked.

      Had he plunged to his death instead, he, and everyone else watching, would have had a bad time.
