The "crush fetishist" set himself up. I sincerely doubt that even the most deeply religious person feels much of a need to invoke divine justice when exceptionally stupid people do exceptionally stupid things and end up getting themselves killed. Stupidity is a selective disadvantage, IMHO. If you let somebody drive a car over you, you kind of have to expect to get squashed, but Newtonian physics explains why the car crushed him better than any biblical passage (unless there's something in the bible about abject stupidity that I missed! ;-) Sometimes natural selection weeds out the very dumb, despite the safety warnings we've put all over everything. I only hope he didn't reproduce first and pass on the stupid genes to the next generation!
