I had the same thought; after my initial laughter, I was like, "ooh, man, that could be really serious. Ugh." I'd hate to see the undoubtedly-poor owners of the company sued because some pig demanded to be allowed to "do what everyone else can do," and yeah, I hate to see violent painful death like that even for a fat. But I'm pretty sure there was water under it--certainly there was a lake there, and I assume from the sharp drop-off that the water started there, so it probably just ended up with sore knees and a lesson in arrogance and stupidity, which it hopefully will heed.
