    Those are all highly regulated and require an absurd amount of training, safety equipment, etc. When people skydive, base jump, etc, the authorities are aware and prepared should anything go wrong.

    I think it’s unfair to make a comparison between a random dumbass endangering himself and a highly regulated extreme sport.

      Pardon? Anyone can go buy a parachute and go base jumping, the hell you talking about? You seriously think everyone has certification? Or just seems like you have an absolute shit understanding of how things actually work in the real world. Nothing is that perfect lmfao.

      There’s also people who have voyaged across the ocean solo in shit like a god damn fucking kayak…. without permission…. so clearly it can be done. So yeah, there’s literally no reason to get up in this guys business.

      I’ve jumped from a plane and the outfit I did it with provided about 15 minutes of class time. The instructor rolled in late as they partied hard the night before. I’m just lucky laundry didn’t pour out of my pack during the jump.
