Jumping from cornice to cornice, 40 stories up

So, some people apparently have 1) A need for a serious adrenaline burst 2) An abnormally low experience of sympathetic nervous system activation (like sociopaths---what you and I would find overwhelming in terms of anxiety only begins to turn on their brain's anxiety centers) 3) really bad risk estimation or 4) all of the above.

Or maybe there are other explanations.

I just know, I have no desire to be this guy.

My heart rate rose and my body released a bit of adrenaline just WATCHING this.

Love that little squeezy sensation when my adrenal glands kick in.

Oh to be foolish and young.

I remember beating my fear of heights by moving on the under-structure of freight bridge.

Sure I would have dies or drown...but to understand that your heartbeat and the sense of slow-mo is what evolution gave you.

Only the young tap in to it truly and we should not mock them because we all played dangerously in our youth.

No upvote though despite my charming banter of not being judgmental. I succeeded in not being judgmental but it lacked the entertaining aspect.

I have been this guy. Now I have a therapist who convinces me not to run along the tops of buildings and stuff. It's just not healthy. At least my therapist still allows me to wear the spandex.

MOTHERFUCKER!

AAAAAAAaaaaaaAAAAAAAaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAA!

Son of a bitch... that gave me butterflies in my scrotum.

Of course some of these morons are going to kill themselves. And just like idiots who pretend to get run over by a car then really get run over by a car, I just don't feel bad for them.

Shepppardsays...

Nope, but I do feel bad for the people on the city streets who'll live the rest of their lives knowing what a human pancake looks like because of these idiots.

Eventually, after one or two of those cases, i'm sure we'll learn how to properly secure the tops of these kinds of buildings. Until we scar some pedestrians for life, however, these idiots will continue to be idiots.

unfortunately the liveleak videos of them falling off cranes aren't nearly as popular as the youtube ones of it going well. Both exist, though.

I consider it like those videos of unbelievable trick shots being made one after the other and it looks like a guy is incredibly skillful, but really it's just a result of him editing out all the shots that he missed.

I used to not be scared of heights. Then one day I fell and broke my arm right above the wrist. Nothing can cure that like having a doc and some helpers grind bones together while resetting your arm.
Now I double check every curb height before stepping down so I don't make that mistake again.

direpicklesays...

I would edit out all the times I died, too. How embarrassing that would be!
