    I don’t know too much about this guy, but if you ignore the part about him being a horrible person for a moment and focus more on the part where he did something new in this field, this is pretty much what happens.

    People who are seen as trailblazers in these sort of daredevil fields often end up dying young. It may be quite safe to go skydiving, for example, but people who push boundaries also tend to push their luck with safety margins.

      It sounded like he was doing touristy hangglidinh,not anything especially dangerous.

      Some of these adventure activities end up actually being pretty chill. I did zip lining, and it was like being on a motorcycle with the speeds it reached. Para sailing was the same, ended up being super chill, you’re just sitting there and get a nice view.

        I’ve done both as well and they are very safe. However, paragliding is a little more sketchy to me that I would never do it same for skydiving.
