It just isn't worth it. http://www.extremesportclips.com/video/2385/Workout-Mishap.html

I think I'll throw away my scooter, too. http://www.extremesportclips.com/video/680/Sweet-Scooter-Jump.html (and obnoxious friend).

Ever notice how much work you get done right around the holidays. :redface:

Ouch! I think this guy did permanent damage to himself. http://www.extremesportclips.com/video/448/Tree-Bungie.html . I'm not sure what he was trying to do but it reminds me of when my 7-year-old daughter tied herself to the seat of the swing and tried to show her sister how she could swing with no hands.

Holy crap. That must have hurt.
 
OK, I'm giving up bowling, too. Bowling mishap

The world's just getting too dangerous.
 
That couldn't have felt good at all. This is why I just do normal sit ups. It just is not worth the risk to do anything else.:smile:
 
I love this one.

Ditto! This guy is scary. I have done technical rock-climbing, and though some of the finger-jams in cracks look more impressive than they are in real life, this guy is WAY good. On my first climb, my next-door neighbor's climbing partners had finals to deal with and he was facing a deadline to submit his guide to the Appalachian Mountain Club, so he drafted me as a climbing partner, and luckily, his wife's feet were about the same size as mine, so I could use her boots. I'm glad Maine has a whole lot more granite than sandstone/schist, etc.:smile:
