Do you think “living on the edge” may lead over the edge? While one may feel sorry for the family and friends, it is hard to find a lot of sympathy for the intrepid adventurer.

Two kids without a dad now... I assume that they are young, if not, they were probably young when he skied off that cliff and somehow lived. I gave some up some “adventurous” stuff when I had kids. I may pick up that stuff again now that they’ve mostly grown up.

Bottom line, if you really want to press your luck, don’t have kids (at the time).

I agree.

In my younger life I did things (cave exploration, cliff climbing etc...) that as I got older and wiser, would never do today.

Back then I didn’t think....today I do.
