JohnRich 4 #28 May 23, 2011 Quote Quote Maybe they should do some research on couch potatoes and find out why they want to spend their life watching TV and never going out and doing anything. What make those guys tick the way they do? Funny, I am a couch potato, and a skydiver, just got my scuba diver license, rigger and hopefully soon, a pilot! Guess I'm doing it wrong. Since you're doing many interesting, challenging things with your life, you don't fit the definition of a couch potato in my mind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

obelixtim 150 #31 May 23, 2011 QuoteSince when is skiing a high risk activity? Every mountain I ski on is at risk....I'm sure I've moved a few sideways with the high speed impacts I've subjected them to. My crash and burns are always spectacular...My computer beat me at chess, It was no match for me at kickboxing.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
format 1 #32 September 2, 2011 Instead of £50 I got this: "Dear Participant, Thank you for taking part in our study examining the psychometric properties of the recently developed Risk-Taking Inventory for high-risk sports. Please find a brief summary of the results below. In recent years, researchers have realised that some individuals may deliberately seek risks over and above those inherently associated with the activity, while others take more precaution by minimising the risks involved. The newly developed Risk-Taking Behaviour Inventory is the first scale designed to assess risk-taking behaviours in high-risk sports participants. In the present study we examined the concurrent and predictive validity of the inventory. The results provided support for the validity of the measure. This has further implications for future studies in the high risk sport domain. Advancing our understanding of the mechanisms underlying risk-taking in high-risk sports could progress the development of suitable teaching programmes and coaching strategies for use in high-risk sports. Thank you again for your time and participation." Can somebody translate it to plain English? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
