Makes me feel a bit sick watching the vid but can't help thinking he is harnessed to something out of shot. Either that or he is feckin nuts
YouTube is filled with this kind of idiocy, plenty of people die being stupid like this and it's applauded as dying doing something they love. I disagree.

If they enjoy doing risky stuff and can justify all the down sides, good for them. If they do the risky stuff just because they want to be admired on YouTube, it's a bit sad IMHO.
Edit: Actually, given the video in post #1, perhaps "down sides" was an rather unfortunate choice of words.

I'm afraid I made my mind up about all this adrenaline nonsense when I was a kid, watching other eight year olds try to kill themselves then dare me to do the same when they failed to die; railways, roofs, bridges, knives, you name it (okay I enjoyed throwing knives at each other for a while) - it's idiocy.
Only now idiocy has a Name, and now it has a Name it's Okay, Right?
Adrenaline Sports are for people who want to die but are afraid to pull the trigger, and people who still think they are invincible eight year olds. The sooner and louder they die, the more people will wake up and stop being sucked into this insanity.
Call me Curmudgeon if you will. :P

They only get sucked into the madness by people with selfie sticks on YouTube. Reinhold Messner soloed all the highest 8000 metre peaks without oxygen, and without razzamatazz. He was asked why he set himself the task and replied "because I wanted to...I just did it for me". I rather like that attitude.

Was that a serious comment or tongue in cheek.

Part beer, part Tin Pot.
People are daft to do dangerous things for fun. Will I revel in their death? No. Will I have any sympathy? No.
I see nothing to respect in someone with no sense of self-preservation.
