Places where people sit at the bar, as opposed to tables, are the best for this, especially if they are in places frequented by solo (e.g. business) travelers. Bars in hotels, airports and train stations (or onboard trains!) are often the

I agree with you that it's common, and it should get more attention than it does. My parent post is discussing the causes, which do not involve "airlines pumping exhaust into the cabin", and refuting the incorrect idea that t

Are you saying that everyone easily agrees on what a “vehicle” is, except in the case of a police car or an ambulance? That roller skates are clearly either a vehicle or not, but a police car is a gray area? note that the question was wheth

Right, and it's the part that (on the Web) nobody wants to admit is pretty much based on magical thinking, because you only have a partial view into the actions the user took, meanwhile you're trying to infer their thoughts.

Insurance for the jumper seems to not be a problem. I couldn't easily find out about liability insurance for the operator, but I'd imagine that it's possible for the right price. https://www.moabbaseassociation.us&

Sure. A guided trek to Base Camp is, at a minimum, a few thousand dollars, and there's a good chance that's not the only tourist dollars you're spending while in Nepal.

Check my reply to your sibling comment for some links. The only place I know of where it's specifically illegal is US national parks (only national parks — you're fine in Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service territories).

It's a pretty robust and long-lasting industry, so the idea that their profits are "severely limited" doesn't pass the sniff test. They no doubt just increase their unit cost accordingly. Anyway, although fewer than 1000

How many? No idea. But it's common to find it offered as a commercial activity — in a similar way to skydiving or other "extreme sports" — all over the world, as a quick web search would show you…

I didn't interpret "traditional" as the rationale, but rather just pointing out that they're always done that way — I assume/hope for good reasons other than tradition.

It's always safety vs. money. A risk-free submersible or spacecraft does not exist. It's always possible to spend more money to further reduce the risks, but naturally with diminishing returns. At some point, you have to decide
