Joking aside, I completely agree. Very pointless and unneccesary risk of life and limb. I doubt God is impressed.
This incident on the Devil’s temptation of Jesus comes to mind...
LUKE 4: 9-13
9 And Satan took him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, 10 for it is written,
He will command his angels concerning you,
to guard you,
11 and
On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.
12 And Jesus answered him, It is said, You shall not put the Lord your God to the test. 13 And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time.
