"He was supposed to take part in a tunnel crawl as part of a game at the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF).
But three hours after taking part in the activity, Second Warrant Officer (2WO) Poh Eng Ann, 36, died.
The tunnel crawl involves a person crawling through the engine compartment of an F-5 fighter jet.
The entrance to the engine compartment is 48cm by 30 cm. Participants are to crawl on their side, five metres into the intake before crawling backwards in the game gap.
The activity on April 24, 2009, was part of team bonding games during the informal welcome ceremony for new or promoted staff at the Paya Lebar Air Base.
The tunnel crawl is considered a tradition during such ceremonies."
Even adults create and play silly initiation games, not too different from college kids during their orientation week.
When will people grow up?
Don't we all know the story of 'Emperor's New Clothes'??
When will people learn to recognise and have the courage to point out what's ridiculous, not to mention put themselves through it?!!
Just because everyone else, who got into that tiny engine compartment (at 48cm x 30cm or just slightly bigger than an A3-size sheet of paper) before this guy, didn't die, doesn't make this activity any less ridiculous or harmful.
