    I can understand the joy of bringing your body to go to the boundary and a bit beyond. For me it end far before tackling a cliff. More like balancing over a beam across a creek. But I can’t understand how one can take the risk of your own death or the harm of others.

      The harm of others is exactly right. I couldn’t bring myself to do anything that could kill me, much less to make my family suffer my loss.

        That is one point, but I thought of the rescue guys who have to go into the wall to pick up the body. Can be in a very unsafe place. Or the other drivers on the road in the case of driving a motorcycle at the limit.

    I have to believe their final thought was something like, “I wish I hadn’t attempted this”.
