Based.
Joking aside, I detest these types of "thrill seekers". I once was indifferent about thrill seekers, but then I spent several years in a certain mountain ski resort town that was packed with these assholes. "If you're not living on the edge then you're taking up too much room" I heard over and over, many times from assholes who then later died doing retarded shit just for attention. Almost always trust fund cunts who were bored with life. Get's old real fast to someone who spends his days way up in the sky on icy scaffolding with large things being lowered by crane at him to eek out a living. After a while I began to cheer for Gravity, Unstable Snowpack Layers, and Strong Currents when I would hear about these idiots getting what they deserved.
And the ones that injury themselves and live put rescue workers at risk.
Yep. All too common. I recall one time in particular which just happened to involve a "parasailer" who base jumped off of a cliff and was doing crazy aerobatics which resulted in him losing his airfoil in his chute, and he plummeted a couple thousand feet to his death. It took days to find him, and one of those searching- whom I knew well- ended up having a bad fall and had to be choppered out. When they finally found the base jumper idiot, he was hanging from tree branches- stretched out into a ribbon of guts and sinew about 30 feet long.
Damn
