The previous commentator said "could have very easily turned into life threatening" and when asked what that was about, they sent the link about that person dying after sitting playing games for 3 days.

Are you saying they're lying or are wrong about this? They seemed to have personal experience about it, and I'm assuming they're not outright lying, but I do think it sounds strange they would let children sit and code for 3 days straight.

That article has no relation to Hack Club whatsoever.

But that's beside the point - they provide rooms, plenty of food and snacks, workshops, and activities to do during breaks. Organizers are on-site at all times, and there is a live hotline for parents or kids to call at any time. "sit and code for 3 days straight" is a gross mischaracterization.

Here's an example of an event hosted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXWMr0gdLJA

So again then, what exact "life threatening situations" could children be put in, besides the things parent already said it wasn't about, during these events? Parent themselves linked that article, I'm not 100% sure what they meant, but all I could think was that they experienced something similar, otherwise I'm not sure why they'd link that.
