  1. Say you are 60 stories up and hanging by one hand-arm on a ledge. You’ve done this many times before, so you’re confident and not at all scared. All of a sudden a murder hornet lands on your nose.

    Next, they’ll be scraping what’s left of you off the sidewalk.

  2. He landed in somebody’s patio? Can you imagine going outside with your cup of coffee and morning newspaper to enjoy a little quiet time before getting ready for work and finding the shattered and splattered body of some asshole who fell from the 68th floor and must have been going somewhere around 120 MPH when he hit.

    I think I’d switch the coffee for some rye whiskey.

  3. Extreme sports for me are installing pop-out windows in my Beetle. Especially when the sun was shining on the car. The sweat drips on my glasses (I can’t see a fucking thing without them, or with them) and I keep turning my head to see through the lenses, as if THAT would make a difference!

    …imagine if he landed ON you.

    Like that FD Chaplain that got killed on 9/11 when a jumper landed on HIM.

    Shit happens.

    But this is AVOIDABLE shit, is the difference…

  5. Thankfully no one on the ground was hurt by his callous disregard for the lives of others or the property rights of the building owners. Hopefully the building owners sue his estate for clean-up costs.

    It’s not about the risk, it’s about the adventure. We get to watch their implosion, then pat ourselves on the back for not being a big risk taker. To people like that, God makes a mockery out of them. There was another risk taker recently. Guy proposed to his girlfriend on a mountain top where she abruptly fell 500 feet to her death. Wasn’t meant to be.
