enjoy your wheelchair when your 50 :P

At least he is pursuing something he loves regardless of the risk, that way he may be in a wheelchair, but with no regrets. ;)im pretty sure you'd regret being in a wheelchair at that age. "Hey honey, why dont we go for a hike...oh yea, you wanted to have reckless fun when you were young, my bad" his wife would say
Idunno, I look at these people who have suffered some sort of tragedy as a result of their hobby (i.e. the surfer who gets crippled due to sharks, the parkour who blows out both his knees at age 30, the pyro with no left hand, etc) and cant help but think they are A.) lying to themselves, or B.) completely ignorant of common sense and/or their future. Better to live a great life for 80 years than a crazy life for 30...
but to each his own, I suppose
and somehow I think he was being sarcastic
Nobody lives forever, you might as well partake in activities you enjoy while alive, anything less is selling yourself short. In my humble opinion, of course. Something like this is basically dependent upon perspective and personal value systems. I am sure I could live to be a healthy 100 year old if I lock myself in a rubber room and hide from life, but what's the point in that type of life? Not much to me... There is risk associated with actually living, I see it to be in particularly bad taste to insult those with the courage to pursue what they desire even with factoring the risks involved. But as you said, to each his own.
