I would look into getting a nice quiet job at the local Home Depot garden center.

For real

I watched the video.
The guy just dropped, didn't kick or wave his arms, nothing.
Ya know, even when I was young and dumb thinking I was invincible, I don't think I could muster anything even remote to wingwalking.
Their addiction to adrenalin must be off the chart.

This is how it was supposed to go...

The RISK to REWARD ratio is pretty low..... No thanks.

He had a son named Tyler.... Thats fucked up.

You know, I don't want to sound harsh and I hope nobody takes this that way.
Back in 1980 I had an XS1100 Yamaha while I was in the Air Force.
I came home to visit and took my dad for a ride on it.
I immediately lofted the front end with him on the back and he about squeezed the crap out of me.
It was not a reaction of fear, it was a pissed off reaction.
When we got back to the house he read me the riot act.
See, he still had a wife and 5 daughters to look after and couldn't afford to get hurt or killed.
I grew up racing motocross among other somewhat dangerous activities and I was really surprised at his reaction until I put myself in his place, something I had never done before.

That's stuck with me and I can remember it like it was yesterday.
It was an unnecessary risk.
Throughout my day whatever I do, I consider the risk as do most people.
I just wonder sometimes what makes people take certain risks.
