I would be willing to bet that you cannot do anything nearly as
difficult and that you have nothing to show that you can do
anything at all that remotely resembles that stunt. In other
words, put up or stop trolling.

Take it to a skydiving forum. We don't care.

Act like a grown up and press the ignore thread key.
Or don't. Doesn't matter.

Maybe ask for some investment advice as long as you're here.

It would make about as much sense.

Mainly curious about how difficult that was.
Thanks.

Odds are he won't make it to his next birthday. Excess adrenalin is
addictive and causes one to take unnecessary risks.

This is about the trip to the hospital.

The fact that he didn't die and that he was able to deploy his
shoot is incredible IMO. If he were clowning around, I might agree
with the prior "unnecessary risks" comment. But he knows what the
risks are. Our special forces take risks like that, perhaps for a
better purpose but not as much fun.

No disrespect intended, it just depends on the politic in charge.

Wrong, As dangerous as a Specops mission is, they are well
thought out and executed and normally are highly successful.

SF is rarely a bunch of hotdogs. They know their job and do it
probably beyond human capability but chance takers they aren't.
When it appears that it's impossible means they failed somewhere
along the way and their people die in the process. When it looks
almost supernatural in the success, it's from superior planning
and execution of the mission. Almost all missions have been
successful.

Actually they don't and anyone taking risks as extreme as that
would wash out in the selection process.

I can't say for sure how you all do it in the United Kingdom, but
I suspect it's the same as here in the United States...
One reason our special forces troops are subjected to stuff like
waterboarding is to see how they will react/function/operate when
they think they are going to die. A significant risk of death is
not uncommon during a mission.

and anyone taking risks as extreme as that would wash out in the
selection process.

Liberal namby-pamby type? Gays in the military? Difficult to tell
by your posting history since apparently you are nym-shifting.

Well, they're clearly not "necessary", given that he isn't doing
anything that has any bigger purpose than having fun. But yeah, he
shows some signs of understanding what he's doing, being prepared to do
HIS part in an emergency, and being pretty careful. Still, as you say,
he just got hurt pretty bad.
