Helmet?

When helemets make NO sense!





just think a parachute would have made better sense!

The Colorado National Monument is our backyard where lots of bikers ride. A couple of kids were doing exactly what you've pictured here a couple of years ago.
One of them could have used a parachute because his helmet was of no use.
It took rescue crews 15 hours to recover his body.

Helmut my ass!!??!! You have to be fucking nuts to ride a bicycle on that path. I would have blisters on my back from leaning back against the wall walking sideways. Better yet, I would stay in the hotel bar. A hangover is better than a fall. A BICYCLE?!?!

Yikes! I couldn't even have crawled along that path.

I just wanted to SCREAM! I have such a fear of heights and I could even feel my insides clench up when I saw those pictures - are they crazy? They must have parachutes attached to their backs in case they fall - not that that would matter - I still would never even WALK on a ledge like that! Cool picutres - have a great weekend. Kellan

You know, there's being adventurous and then there's being a little stupid. That looks stupid to me. LOL

My wheelchair wouldn't be a lot of use up there!

I have had a lifelong fear of heights - conquered (almost entirely) by therapy and just f-ing doing it. Walk that path? Yes. Bike. Oh no f-ing way.
But thank you for the pics... they are... inspiring, to say the least.

I used to go on the roof and clean out the gutters. Now I don't even like the ladder. This is way beyond me!
