    Men that do things like this roll the dice and earn no sympathy from me (neither do they ask for it) when they bite the dust as a result the danger they willingly put themselves in. Just a hell yeah and a glad that wasn't me. Adrenaline is an awesome drug. As long as they take responsibility for the risk and avoid putting non participants in danger then I'm all for it. Grew out of that stage though.
    To anger a conservative, lie to him. To anger a liberal, tell him the truth.

    I'm glad you word it this way- "when they die doing this dangerous activity, I won't shed a tear for them." Instead of just huffing and saying that because someone took a risk they're an idiot. Kayaking can be hazardous. But then again, so can autocross, motocross, skydiving, wingsuit (ing?), paragliding, skiiing, snowboarding, surfing, diving, rock climbing, tiger wrestling... I could go on. "On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero."
