    Honestly, I think it was ignorance and/or hubris. He was either unaware of his allergy (miraculously never stung before, or developed allergy later in life), or he was kind of aware, but never assumed anything could go wrong.

      I’ve never been to a billionaire polo match [sad trumpet] but I’d assume that there be some medical staff, like you’d find at any major sporting event where injury is likely. On the other hand, I could see how the staff was prepared for a broken neck and not considering bee stings. Either way, it’s pretty funny.

        That’s not a sad trumpet, that’s a happy confirmation that you’re a better person.

        Otherwise mostly agree, I find it funny but sad; would rather see him survive and become a philanthropist after a almost meeting death, instead of dying.
