Yeah....nope. I've walked out on a couple of the spots he did that, it's unsettling on foot let alone doing that crap. | |||

Risk far outweighs rewards if you ask me. Sign me up for something boring like scuba, shooting, or driving fast in a car or on a bike. Foster's, Australian for Bud | |||

Seems very high risk with very little upside. No thanks. | |||

There are so many things that could go wrong with that. I'm glad that YouTube didn't exist in my younger years to tempt me to risk my life for a video. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

Foolish risk. It’s not the slip, or even the fall that kills you...it’s the sudden stop at the end. The things people do to get noticed. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

You can only do that so many times before something goes wrong. I was scared of heights as a kid. Not so much anymore when I know I'm safe. I would have no issue climbing that with the proper protection. So many people today want to push the limits without any safety "net". I wonder how many of these people would still do it if it wasn't filmed and posted for others to see. _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn.

As I recall, the charges for a rescue chopper there at the canyon STARTED at $3000 back when we floated the canyon around 1987 or so. Probably much higher by now. Of course the odds of it being a rescue if the knothead falls are pretty slim. But they would still have to pay to cart what was left of him out of the canyon.

The thing is too, a lot of those surfaces are covered in loss dirt/debris, it's not just clean rock. All it takes is hitting one errant stone to go tumbling. | |||

The Grand Canyon Search and Rescue unit is one of the busiest in the country. Dudes like this are the reason. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

And other than what the camera captured - what of the Grand Canyon did he see? Just another narcissist yelling "look at me, I might fall." Life moves pretty fast.

Nope. Not for me. How does he get up there with his bike? Does he take the elevator? "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."
