“The page said he was the ‘sole breadwinner’ of his family...”
Sometimes extreme sports IS a person’s career, and it would be tough to give it up if you were good at it.
But I can think of other famous extreme sportsters who died and left families, small children behind. It always bugged me, like “Hey, you have small children now...you don’t get to do this crazy stuff anymore!”
It seems to me the height of selfishness for someone with a family to be engaging in recreational activity that has the high potential for death even if you do everything right. I’m mainly thinking of rock climbers.
