Almost always the reason is an overestimation of their skills. They realize mid way up that they lack the strength to make it to the top on their own, and since back down is even more dangerous they get stuck. Especially without ropes.

My wife and I found a father and son midway up Echo Point in Katoomba, NSW once. They attempted to climb the cliff for a daytrip, and were only 2/3 of the way up when nighttime fell, so they camped on a ledge and started screaming when the sun came up.
We were on a hike for sunrise and thats when we heard them. Called in rescue and they showed up with helicopter and a team that repelled down to them. Got them up safely after a few hours.

Rescue team was actually happy about this one. Said 9 out of 10 they are called in to scrape up the remains of suicide jumpers at that location.

By assuming we are "close minded conspiracy theorists" simply off the basis of having a different conclusion than you, you're simply avoiding the discussion, and you still fail to make any legitimate arguments; you merely repeat the "tired and naive" talking point of how "it's not the best, but it's the best we have" to defend an unjust system.

When has that attitude ever done us good? We have such amazing technology and understanding of the universe because of the way we as a whole ultimately reject that argument and instead say "some of this works quite well, but we need a lot of work in other areas."

Personally, I'm a fan of the free market concept. I think a fair amount of those who you are so eager to write off as fools also do. The problem comes down to what our concepts of justice are. We speak fondly of "equality of opportunity," but anyone can see we have no such thing. Only when everyone has equal opportunity to pursue learning in the fields of their choice without having to give up on adding to our collective culture/knowledge because of the economic pressure of survival can we truly say people are free. So long as anyone is taking a job they hate just to scrape by at the bottom of the chain, and we exercise violence against each other to try and force our ways onto others on a massive scale, we are, in my opinion, a profoundly unjust society.

Of course, violence will never end, scheming and exploitation and all our evils will continue to plague us. We can't make a utopia. What we can do, though, is decrease the potential for abuse in our current systems. I, and many others, think that separating the means of survival and self-actualization - the things required to develop, grow, and contribute to humanity at a high level (namely, food/water/shelter, basic healthcare, and free, equal access to education) - from the rest of the market is one way to make a huge impact on that potential for abuse. Think about it: how many times do we let corporations damage our environment and abuse us simply because speaking out means losing your means of survival?

I think the rest of the market is going to have to stay the market, nobody can really say how it's fair to divide up all our resources (though I hope for an increase in democracy going forwards for things related to our environment and health). Amusingly, though you rail against anarchy, the actual ideals of anarchy fall in line with the concept of a free market (anarchy is really all about freedom of association rather than coercive structures; not a lack of order).

Something more Jimmy Carr-esque would have been better, like "Sir, if you want my comeback, you'll have to scrape it off your mum's teeth".

Next week: Red hot nickel ball scraping a barrel

There is something very simple but effective in work here. Letting kids be kids, let them get dirty and adults just hanging out with them teaches more valuable lessons of life than any hovering tiger-mom style. Asian countries have surpassed Scandinavian in math skills but at horrible cost. It's just stupid to put kids in to super-learning mode if they grow up unhappy, with social skill problems, unable to fit or feel accomplished.. I like our way of doing things, thank you very much. Eat dirt, climb where you shouldn't and fall down, scrape knees, explore without fear, get hurt, discover, all of that is important part of growing up.

That's a slight twist on a really old one, when someone else delivers a comeback, you say, "If I'd wanted that comeback, I'd have scraped the roof of your mouth."

I think the radar went off with more than a few viddies from eugene hutz's YT channel having been submitted by yarmolenko-Possible self-linkage, user here since August with 17 vids published-

No ban yet, let the man defend his egregious and wholly uncreative fare scraped from the pages of one man's YT channel of human suffering and deluge-Explain your lazy or otherwise illegal sifting yarmo, and make it snappy-No need to rile chicchorea any more thans' necessary ☭

OMG nostalgia! I lived not even 20 minutes from there when I was a kid. I almost got killed in the parking lot there on the 4th of July once when a firework exploded right after launch and sent fiery fragments out into the crowd (one of them smashed the windshield of the car next to me). I also remember totally wanting to go on the Cannonball loop but my parents wouldn't let me (in hindsight probably a good decision on their part).

Motorworld there was awesome--it was across the street from Action Park and I think run by the same people. They had these cage-enclosed go-karts tanks equipped with compressed-air tennis ball cannons and sensors that stopped the tanks temporarily if they got hit by a tennis ball. You could pay to drive the tanks around inside an enclosed arena or you could also shoot at the tanks from the outside of the arena using air-cannon turrets that required quarters to operate. Tons of fun.

Mostly, though, I went to the water park, which according to Wikipedia had the most casualties. I got a fair amount of scrapes from the waterslides and I can totally see how people could get seriously injured on some of them.

Stay tuned for the next series where we ask the world's top scientists: "what if dogs could talk?"

As much as I love this series of videos, they're really scraping the bottom of the barrel for ideas.

Action Comics #479, Superman comes in at about mach 6 on a decommissioned air strip in Singapore and does a low-in fly-over scraping his face against the tarmac to lose that shadow...

If you give an Aye Aye an orange it will poke a small hole and scoop out all the good parts leaving the membrane between each slice intact. Cut it open and you have a perfectly segmented cup.

Give an Aye Aye a cut portion of carrot and it will create a hollow tube of carrot skin.

Give an Aye Aye a half coconut and it will turn it over (round side up), chew a small hole in it and scrape the meat out, even though it would be much easier to get it from the open side.

Weird obsessive little things.

So...why does it scrape upon removal, requiring a second mating session to produce offspring?

That stain might never come off.. I did similar "experiment" in our open garage and spent the next three hours scraping it clean before my parents came back... Ended up scraping the surface layer completely off before it was clean again. They never found out, so shh... It was only 22 years ago, maybe i get grounded.. again..
