pastikan jika kejutan perayaan tersebut masih dalam batas kewajaran. Tidak keterlaluan atau
membahayakan. Sebab, telah banyak kasus kejutan ulang tahun yang justru berakhir tragis. Niat hati mengerjai teman yang tambah usia, tapi justru bencana yang terjadi. Berikut ini adalah beberapa contoh perayaan ulang tahun yang keterlaluan dan berakhir dengan tragis.
1. Tewas kesetrum saat dikerjai teman
Hari ulang tahun juga menjadi hari kematian bagi Sandy. Pemuda yang saat itu baru genap 28 tahun tersebut mendapat kejutan ulang tahun dari rekan-rekan kerjanya. Sekitar pukul 00.04 dini hari, Sandy digiring oleh teman-temannya menuju lapangan basket Bumi Serpong Damai, kota Tangerang. Ia pun diikat di salah satu tiang lampu lapangan. Tak cukup dengan diikat, Sandy kemudian diguyur dengan air.
Tiang lampu yang mengandung aliran listrik itupun sontak membuat tubuh Sandy kejang-kejang. Menyadari ada yang tidak beres dengan Sandy, rekan-rekannya pun meminta bantuan petugas lapangan untuk membantu melepaskan ikatan. Sandy langsung dilarikan ke rumah sakit Eka Hospital, namun nyawanya tidak bisa diselamatkan.
2. Siswa SMA jadi buta setelah dilempar telur busuk
Hari ulang tahun memang momentum spesial yang kerap dirayakan. Namun, beberapa remaja di Indonesia tampaknya memanfaatkan momen tersebut untuk mem-bully teman sendiri. Tentu bukan hal aneh lagi saat melihat ada siswa yang disiram tepung, air, sampai dilempari telur. Hal seperti itu tentu menjadi momen seru, namun apa yang diceritakan oleh akun facebook Polres Tebing Tinggi, Sumatera Utara sungguh memilukan.
Traditionally, getting life insurance meant paper applications, multiple meetings and phone calls, and it usually took weeks or even months. Then, after you receive a life insurance policy, you’d probably wind up putting those documents in file cabinets and manila envelopes.
Fabric takes a completely different, modern approach. Fabric lets you apply for term life insurance online, without needing to go anywhere in person or deal with agents trying to upsell you more expensive products than you need. It takes about ten minutes and you can get an immediate decision without a health exam (if one is needed, we’ll schedule one at no cost), and your policy is downloadable through your secure account.
We also empower our customers to grant their spouse beneficiaries access to their policy details online. That way, beneficiaries always have access to up-to-date coverage information and a direct way to access Fabric support.
What demographic do you believe are most in need of Fabric’s offerings and how are you working to speak to those individuals?
Fabric is a one-stop shop for new parents to organize their finances with a free legal will and affordable life insurance. We designed our experience to be easy to understand and efficient for time-strapped parents. We’re a digital offering, but as a compassionate company, we find all kinds of ways to connect with our customers, whether it’s inviting people to our office to try out new versions of our products or calling them to see how we’re doing and what we can do better.
Fabric is more than just life insurance. Can you speak to some of your other offerings and are there any future plans to add more aids to the portfolio?
As a one-stop shop for new parents, we’ve gone beyond life insurance to offer a free online will and a new product called Fabric Vault.
Having a will is critical for parents because without a will that expresses your wishes, a court can choose your child’s guardian. With Fabric Wills, you can create a free legal will in a few minutes. For me, creating a will seemed daunting and so it always fell to the bottom of my list. We created Fabric Wills to make the process easy and procrastination-free so parents could easily check it off their list.
Fabric Vault makes it easy for spouses and partners to create a shared map of their family’s financial accounts, so they both always know where to find up-to-date information. Unlike writing down a paper list of banks, investments, 401(k), life insurance and other accounts, setting up Fabric Vault is seamless and secure. It’s quick and easy to complete on your phone, and you have total control over what details you share.
This was also a product built out of a personal experience. My partner and I had been talking about how we needed to share a list of our financial accounts in case of an emergency. While we had the best of intentions, like a lot of people, we never got it done. Fabric Vault helps solve that problem for us.
