    Death defying stunts have been around longer than social media. If someone wants to roll the dice who are you to tell them no.

      I strongly believe everyone is free to do as they wish and die how they please. It is the act of broadcasting and glorifying and downplaying the danger of something as stupid as free climbing.

        I don’t think anyone was downplaying the danger. I’m pretty sure that was the draw.

      Im the guy who calls morons a moron and maybe if there were more guys like me, then last autum some poor paramedic would not had to scrape some kids remains from the concrete while their partner were trying to calm down two traumatised teenagers.

      Before the social media, and smart phones every moronic thing that every moronic adolescent did, had no way to spread instantly to thousands other teenagers screens.
