ouch. it had to happen one day after seeing them just cm's from the cliff edge.

hope he's all good and recovering

why risk what you cant get back? "YOUR LIFE"

 

I'm pretty sure he calculates the risks, in much the same way we do when we climb trees with chainsaws. It's on the same scale, albeit on different levels of that scale. He does what he does because he is sure he has the skill to pull it off and enjoys testing his ability. Its part of not being afraid to live. You could say the same about race car drivers, big wave surfers, rock climbers, circus performers and a host of others. It doesn't make him a hero, but it is commendable the life he leads.

Why are they heroes???

 

A hero is some one who risks life and limb for others.

 

While I agree its remarkable and takes a certain kind of courage, its also monumentally selfish.

 

Because he is superman ;-).

That went a weeeeee bit wrong, but he made a good recovery after and that shows skill and not panicking after. So on that alone it was good.

Bloody nutter! He must have a friggin screw loose that lad, I'm blown away by that, what a mad man.
