I'm assuming you meant this but wanted to put it out there - it is not the possibility of death that is the appeal, it is the possibility of cheating death. Small but essential difference.
- tim333 9y agoHaving done a bit of risky mountain stuff I quite like the modest risk of dying doing it. Part of my rationalization is you're going to die some day and doing it Bond movie style might be more interesting than Alzheimer's in a hospice. It's also a bit of an FU to the government forcing you to scan your shoes at airports and such like to prevent the 1E-10 chance of you leaving the party early.
