Having worked in a few hazardous situations (voice and data network engineering inside a petrochemical plant can put you uncomfortably close to a number of substances with a disturbing capacity to detonate), as well as having worked in hospital emergency rooms, I can well attest to the gallows humor.
JW's glibness is not troubling in and of itself. It's the topic in which he is being glib that is cause for alarm. It's one thing to joke about feeding people into a woodchipper, but it's something else entirely to joke about one's experiences washing the blood and guts out of the gears.
I wouldn't label it one hundred percent nasty,for many it's just a coping mechanism. "Gallows humor."
