    Big vibes, i’m very risk averse and i just have to assume people like this exist to show us what things are dangerous, like they merrily go diving for oysters alone and a day later the tribe finds their body washed up on the shore half-eaten and can point to that to tell the kids to not be stupid like Jimbo was.

    Or they do that for a year straight and are somehow fine, so the tribe now knows that this part of the coast is really safe and they don’t have to worry about it.

    So you get 8 hours sleep in 15 minutes but 15 minutes is actually 6 hours? sounds like a pretty decent trade to me

    I look at corporate and tell them it’s the same picture when shown normal caving next to “this hole belongs to me”

    Every extreme sport is insane if you dissect it with rational thought about human frailty.

    It’s great!

    Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go strip to thin breathable cloth so I can tear along the countryside at speeds humans weren’t designed to travel at, while dodging trees, bushes, occasional wildlife, roots and rocks, hoping my air filled donut bladders don’t rupture and none of the welds on my metal stick give out. Once I’m done I’ll cool off with a nice downhill roll, rivaling the cheetah on speed.

    spoiler

    Mountain biking.

    That said… Caves are one of those places I’d love to go to one someday but it won’t be relaxing for me. They can be scary as FUCK. Don’t even get me started on cave diving. Those people are insane and in need of therapy.

      Oh, so your cripplinh addiction to adrenaline at speed is definitely more sensible than finding a cozy little hidey hole away from people and the myriad stresses of the Dry World?

      It’s only as dangerous as you let it be.
