I rubber-necked and looked that up. In the case you're referring to the husband convinced his wife to shoot a book while he held it in front of his chest, believing it would stop the bullet. He set up two cameras to film it. So yes, this is arguably also poor engineering, but it would be more similar if the slide designer had been accidentally killed by the 10-year-old boy after convincing the boy to launch him down the slide.

Yes, not exactly the same but more so on the note of our societal chase for those reality bucks/YouTube views and their sometimes deadly consequences.
