That was my reaction as well. Ever hear of New Jersey's Action Park? The story is awesome. Place was so dangerous the city forced the owner to purchase additional ambulances. Locals referred to it as Traction Park and Class Action Park.
That's a ride I can do without. Not that I haven't done some pretty stupid stuff in my time like skiing down an ice glazed 60 degree trail. I'm not talking about the western version of ice glazed trails. That's called packed powder where I come from. I'm talking good ole New England boiler plate! The kind that doesn't give when you fall.I'm talkin' real ice. I was lucky to survive that one.
OK, We've got the guy to play the coyote!
ReplyDeleteWhy pay good money for a thrilling amusement ride when you can get one for doing your job??

ReplyDeleteEvidence of that thin line between Bravery and Stupidity. Balls of Steel or No Brains...I hope he was paid very well.
ReplyDeleteI'm with edutcher, that's Darwin Award material.
ReplyDeleteThat dude knew exactly what he was doing. Balls bigger than a bushel of Iowa corn and a climbing harness pulled tighter than a rabbi's wallet.
ReplyDeleteHe'd fit in perfectly with the old steel workers who built our cities' ancient skyscrapers. (Hell, even today's. I fucking HATE heights.)
