He met your conjecture with reasoning and you dismissed it.
Anything else you have to say past that is irrelevant as per your inability to discuss things.
A thought experiment:
You are waiting at a train station, minding your own business. There will be a train passing through the station at high speed (skipping it) and not in the direction your're interested in -- these trains are moving at 50 mph and blare their horns (estimated 7-10 seconds warning).
Suddenly a passerby trips near the tracks and her phone falls onto them and immediately (out of habit) bends over to pick it up. That action may cost roughly 10 seconds.
The point of this is to show, that even with margin of warning, actions that people do by habit can take longer than said margin, or, as they are ingrained as a habit, be executed anyways regardless of context.
I object to this whole thread because the victim is already dead. They already have paid the price for their carelessness (wouldn't call habitual behavior 'stupid' -- just careless). Any more bitching over what most likely amounted to casual or engrained carelessness is just short of pointless harping. Except, who you gonna lecture? The one who is already dead?
Pointless.
Also, by the definitions offered of what a fucking accident is, it's fairly accurate to call it such.
Suicide by accident is still an accident.
Unless you've evidence as to the contrary?
