Re: Wingsuit Dude recovery
You can have all that without fucking over your family and friends, leaving them widows and orphans, or saddled with huge medical bills, and while still going on to contribute something positive to society. This type of bullshit is the domain of stupid haoles.

Yeah and you can be struck by lightning or dies of AIDS, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna fuck an African hooker in a lighting storm with a tinfoil covered cock.

First that's a false dilemma you present. Commuting to work and riding a desk is the most dangerous thing most people can do in their lifetime.
So, you're dismissing all sports and gainful human activities that involve what you perceive as excessive danger? That is the domain of the arrogant and ignorant. Wing dude is at the edge of the spectrum for sure, but the rest of us between the middle of the bell curve and the outliers have a hail and hearty fuck you for those that condescend and judge our recreation as unfeeling or unreasonable...just becuase you think it's scary does not mean it is scary.

The trial also generated political controversy when Zuma, who at the time headed the National AIDS Council, admitted that he had not used a condom when having sex with the woman who now accuses him of rape, despite knowing that she was HIV-positive. He stated in court that he took a shower afterwards to "cut the risk of contracting HIV".

Re: Wingsuit Dude recovery
I've kinda retired from risk sports, but I used to do them for a living.
Here's the introduction to one of my books that explains why I enjoy engaging in risk. Just click on book cover and scroll down to the introduction.
http://www.amazon.com/Wolverine-Is-Eati ... 067972026X
What, you will may ask, have I done that might be considered risky?
OK, here goes. Pardon me while I pound my chest for a bit.
Skydiving
mountain climbing and glacier walking
hang gliding
piloting a hang glider dropped from a hot air balloon
piloting a hot air balloon over Pikes Peak (I was the first to do this. I believe I'm the only one.)
extreme caving (rock climbing over slippery rocks in complete darkness)
Climbing El Cap in Yosemite on a rope (and rappelling down: over a half mile - 2nd longest rappel ever)
Exploring toxic air caves wearing oxygen
Scuba diving caves (a very dangerous sport)
Scuba diving to 235 feet on regular air (with an hour's hang off on the way up)
15 mile kayak crossings in the Arctic
Paraponting
Rappelling and climbing cave pits of up to 500 feet
Swimming with sharks, including Great Whites
Rafting dangerous rivers (the Tons, in India for instance)
Swimming in the Arctic Ocean (at the North Pole, no less)
Joining a destructive cult for journalistic purposes (the leader, Tony Alamo, now in jail)
Hiking across Death Valley in the summer (and on to summit Mt. Whitney on the same journey)
Scuba diving under the ice on a winter lake
Free diving to collect poisonous sea snakes
Encountering wild animals on foot (cape buffalo, lion, grizzlies, mt. lions, lowland and highland gorillas)
And a bunch of other stuff. I like this stuff for reasons enumerated in the link above. Also, I got paid well to do it.

I ever tell you about how I won the 1962 Wisconsin State High School swimming championships in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle?

Well, I was trying to say that controlled risk was my way of cleansing after living in the sewer of that killer's mind for three damn years.

Well..I see that we all like varying degrees of control with ur risk. If that's what helps you elevate your consciousness..Go In peace.

Cahill you go ahead and keep on taking risks. Lots of them.

Re: Wingsuit Dude recovery
Cahill takes a risk every time he walks to the shitter. It's transcendent.

Re: Wingsuit Dude recovery
Risk is control. In skydiving, you're the only one who can pull your chute. The great malaise suffered by so many is that they feel they have no control over their lives.
