Mountainbike technology has gotten crazy advanced, so they had to build harder trails to ride. There's actually a bit of a resurgence of people riding less-advanced bikes to bring back some challenge back to the easier trails.

If that bridge was meant for walking it would have handrails.

I think the passengers all got out for that stretch. The bus moves like it's empty and where did the people standing around come from?

My dad showed me a mountain biking/bmx area like that. Or, more specifically, he showed me were his friend whiffed a down section and (with his skull) discovered a bolt that stuck too far out and had to be airlifted.

Did the guy recover, or does he get chewable, non-toxic coloring books and crayons for Christmas now?

BURY ME AS I LIVED, A FREE MAN ON THE CLUTCH

Everything he does/did is sketchy as hell but done properly.

I don't like heights and I don't like ladders especially. However, I'd trust a ladder he put up any day of the week. The man knows his trade. I grew up on a farm and am very familiar with sketchy things. As long as you know what you're doing, it's safe. At least, it's safe to you because you know what you did. You just have to accept and trust your work.

I always trusted anything my grandpa did and it never failed me. It was always dangerous and weird, but it worked.

Also skip to 28:10 when he talks about making his own grave marker followed by some peak British humor when they roll credits.

The pastor that officiated my friends wedding was also the local steeple-jack. He was about 80. He didn't use a harness. Just a bonsun's chair. He'd go around to all the local church's and take care of the shingles and the cross.
He was completely insane and cared nothing for his own safety. God would sort it out I suppose.

As far as I know, he's still kicking around somewhere. Confidence apparently works. I wish I could remember his.name so I could look him up. Very nice, charming, funny, fellow.

I guess I don't have a point, but it's pretty apropos for the OSHA thread.

Goddamn. Someone in some incarnation of this thread said it: "Farmers, famously known for making it to old age with all their fingers intact." This is the exact type of thinking that gets people maimed and killed. You know what you're doing, except that you have no idea what you don't know. Like the farmer who died from CO poisoning from using a pressure washer inside a tank, along with his wife and friend who rushed in to try and save him. Or you are aware of the dangers but haven't accounted for the unexpected. It's perfectly safe, until you slip and reflexively try to grab a spinning PTO shaft that has no guards on it.

And yet farmers will fight tooth and nail to remain exempt from even the most basic of OSHA regulations and safeguards. Because they "know what they're doing."

Seriously, "It's dangerous as hell but I know what I'm doing!" is the kind of thinking that gets us this thread. It's implying that you're essentially infallible, having predicted every possible way that something can go wrong and operate 100% of the time with no distractions or slips.
