The cool thing about riding in a hot air balloon is you don’t have to do it.

The guy I know walked away. Out the hospital that night after someone had to tackle him at the scene. He said he thought he was dead and that was just what the afterlife was.
Other guy had his scalp pulled back.

Whats amazing is some dude climbing 925 feet up a damn radio tower.

This is why I would never do anything like this. I also won’t ride roller coasters. It goes against every self preserving thought I have in my brain.

Have you actually never been on a roller coaster? Truly curious. I have been skydiving (twice), hang-gliding, love roller coasters...and I have a terrible fear of heights.

I hope they had to climb down and were terrified in doing so.
I guess they got a crash course on tower climbing on the way down.
Also, some those FM’s probably had to reduce power or switch to an alternate site.
Some people say anything above 500-1000 wats of RF is harmful at the antenna level.

Yes, I just don’t enjoy it.
