    Kinda seems like good luck to me.

      Good luck is not falling in the first place.

        Difference in outlook, I suppose. I’d call not falling the “default state”.

          Regardless, almost dying and ending up in the hospital definitely seems like a negative relative to the neutral “default state”.

            Not when you compare it to the alternative outcomes of falling off a cliff!

            Think it’s been thoroughly established that this is gonna be a difference of opinion.

              It’s good that he survived. It’s bad that he fell into the Grand Canyon. There, I solved it.
