A kid jumps from a cliff and dies. Thought it could fly (by some quirk of nature perhaps). Turns out, not true. Died on impact. Kudos for trying? Hardly. It's a bad idea. No matter if the outcome is not a total disaster by sheer luck.

Those situations are really not comparable. Jumping off a cliff has a near 100% death rate. This sub on the other hand has done this before.

A better comparison might be climbing mount everest in the 80s.
