My family has been going to Bass Lake since the 70's, and we all know the dangers of Angel Falls. I was simply telling the story of how my friend slipped and fell and giving my perspective on THAT event. Obviously, I don't think the little boy's death is funny nor would I write moderately witty commentary about it. I wish all his friends and family the best, Derek Kellie - I’m extremely sorry to hear that. My family has been going to Bass Lake since the 70’s, and we all know the dangers of Angel Falls.

So take it easy, ok?

Have a child. There is no greater sense of responsibility. 2. Ride co-driver in a trophy truck at 100+ mph. You have no control of the vehicle and you are responsible for every aspect of your surroundings. Its just like being the quarterback, if you win, your a hero, if you loose its your fault. 3. Own a small business. You rely on yourself to produce results or you fail. 4. Enter any type of competition and tell everyone in competition that you are going to win before the competition starts. 1. Have a child. There is no greater sense of responsibility.

There were plenty of people who enjoyed the falls that day and were not involved in a potentially fatal accident. Ross was involved in one because of his carelessness (not waiting for the rope to get thrown farther). Don't be over-confident or dumb. That being said these are some of my ideas to "live dangerously". 1. Buy a motorcycle - If you drive everyday, what better way to maximize that "on the edge feeling" than riding a motorcycle to and from work. Plus your coolness level goes through the roof and it has great MPG (Fastest models are around 50MPG). Oh, and traffic doesn't exist anymore! 2. Learn to surf - The better you get the bigger the waves you can ride and the more dangerous it becomes. Surfers seem to enjoy life a lot more than the rest of us and i think its due to the fact that they have to face a dangerous situation to enjoy their occupation. 3. Buy a gun. 4. Skydiving - Awesome, yet safe. 5. Fighting - chances are you will get hurt, but there is nothing that makes you feel more alive than combat with another person. I know this makes me sound like a marine or mma fighter but its true. I think they made a movie about it. I think there has to be a balance with doing scary things, and risk management.
