I see this kinda like any% speed runs where they use ACE and crazy crazy exploits that totally bypass the point of the game. Or maybe its more like a TAS, or "pure hackmons" in Pokémon talk.

Anyways, I find the concept interesting, so long as people don't get hurt significantly more than they do with "regular" sport. To see how far the human body can go, including all the tech and science possible.

I could legit for see a future where the Paralympics are "more impressive" (whatever that means) due to incredibly powerful prosthetics.

Ethically speaking, idk anything, I'm just a dude on the internet.

Perhaps to avoid people getting hurt significantly we could regulate and ban dangerous things.

Or promise to put him in jail if anyone dies now and see if he carries on.
