Someone else had already registered as BennyHill, so what is more bennyhill than bennyhill: bennyhiller.... eehhr, anyway...
It is unfortunately quite human to think something is stupid, when you don’t understand and would never do it yourself. It’s a matter of where does the line go for what is stupid or not. Ask an average non-jumper-Joe about skydiving, and he may think that it is a stupid thing to do. If you ask a skydiver about base jumping, he may think the same thing. Even if you ask a base jumper about for example base jumping and deploying in fog, he may think that is stupid. If you don’t understand why and would never do it yourself, it’s easily called... stupid...
If you chose to not just think something is stupid and actually say so, is a matter of manners, internet anonymity, and so on ...
Some of those comments gave me a good laugh though..., impossible to take seriously.
Btw, thanks Nick for maintaining the base fatality list, it’s a good reality check.
