Risk is Life


First year veterinary science student 18 year old Catherine Peters was killed when she fell more than 20 metres during a bridge swing on Saturday 7 March.

And then

Argentine pilot Gerardo Bean, 27 and 34-year-old Andrew Michael Scotland a volunteer firefighter were killed in a tandem hang gliding crash near Queenstown after taking off from The Knoll on the Remarkables this morning.

Deaths during outdoor adventure are tragic and usually preventable but without pushing limits we'd never get achievement.
Could have been any of these guys. (Vid from the Risk series on Utube - the accidents are only the first couple of clips then it gets simply awesome)
