Brett, please don't take this wrong....
If an adrenalin junkie wants to get in a Corvette, drive 150 mph down a deserted road and kills himself/herself, he/she is an idiot and I have no sympathy for him/her. If he/she does it in town weaving thru traffic and puts others lives in danger, I hope they whack a tree before they hurt someone else. I have absolutely no remorse about my feelings. I feel sorry for the law enforcement and first responders who have to chase the idiot down and peel them off the tree/cliff/building/guardrail...
If an adrenalin junkie wants to bungee jump off the Auburn Ravine bridge and his bungee breaks, I have no sympathy for him/her. If they do it when a car drives by and it distracts the drivers of the car so they risk and auto accident, I hope the bungee jumper whacks the rocks. I feel sorry for the people who have to hose the remains off the rocks.
If an adrenalin junkie wants to WW kayak down a river and put their life at risk, please don't expect me to feel sorry for them when they drown. Please don't expect me to have any respect for them when they lobby for and get the river flows levels changed so it is MORE DANGEROUS/EXCITING to WW KAYAK and it raises the danger level for EVERYONE ELSE who uses the river, putting our lives at risk so they can FEEL THE RUSH! To me, they are as stupid as the Corvette idiot and deserve the same outcome.
The same goes for the idiots who decide to ride out the hurricanes, mountain climb in the dead of winter, tornado chasers, back country skiers, skydivers, shark swimmers, investment bankers... if you die or get maimed...you die. You did it, it was your choice, no one forced you to do it, please don't expect me to cry for you or spend one dollar finding you, fixing you or cleaning up after you when you die. Hopefully it brought meaning to their poor, pathetic lives.
