Exposure to x-rays is harmful every time. In contrast, basejumping, skateboard tricks, etc. only pose a risk of harm. Edit: why the downvotes?

- lazide 5y agoThe risk of catastrophic harm for BASE jumping (and I say this as a licensed skydiver who has many friends who are base jumpers) is high enough it’s almost certainly safer taking a machine gun, pointing it straight up, and emptying a couple belts in the air trying to hit yourself in the head. As a noob, it’s more like putting on a blindfold and wandering across 101 at 8pm for a few minutes. Skateboarding for noobs is much safer as it’s more on the broken bones side than fatalities.
- hammock 5y agoYou might be missing my point. It's like how stabbing yourself in a random spot on the torso with a knife would be (in my estimation) more frowned upon/antisocial than playing Russian roulette with a six shooter.
