That alone would make me think twice before attempting any life-threatening stunts.
Yup.
I quit roadracing motorcycles the year my son came along.
But, WOW, do I ever miss it!!
Makes you wonder why he didn't.
Either extreme stupidity or overwhelming narcissism.
Probably both.
I stopped doing dangerous/stupid (large wave surfing, skydiving, etc.) stuff for fun when I became a father. A responsible parent behaves in a prudent manner. I feel for this guy and his family, but also feel he was selfish in pursuing this line of entertainment after becoming a father.
Exactly! There comes a time when a person has to let go of the dangerous "fun" things in their life and take a hard look at their responsibilities. IMHO, that time for Mr.McConkey came the day his daughter was born.
