Note to self: If I ever go skydiving, post a scathing 1 star review immediately before getting in the plane, and update it if I survive the landing...

Let's be fair here. "I died" is two stars. One star is "I died and my family isn't paid damages and the business owner gets away scot-free".

You mean one of these "if you are reading this note it means I am already dead. I am speaking to you from beyond the grave..." Yelp reviews??
(I will make this my default Yelp review for local restaurants...)
