Love stuff like that. Not for me, being afraid of heights, but the concept of it.
TOM SCOTT IS BACK?!?!
That guy was so visibly stoked. It sounded like an hour-long adrenaline high. Good for him.
Wow looks really fun! Must be very dangerous, right?
Not as dangerous as you might think, since you always got a security chute with you. So, paradoxically: you’re safer the higher up you are, because the chute has actual time to deploy.
Statistically, it’s safer than riding a motorcycle. (Which isn’t too safe, I know)
Oh wow that is surprising. I mean I don’t have that much context for motorcycles but it’s not an uncommon hobby so it can’t be that bad right?
The old joke about motorcycles is, a guy is in the hospital, waiting for a organ transplant. The doctor comes in and says “we don’t actually have a new organ for you yet, but let’s prepare you for the surgery anyway. Its raining, so it shouldn’t be too long now.”
Implying that since its raining, the roads are slippery, killing motorcyclists.
