MODERATORS
Those are all highly regulated and require an absurd amount of training, safety equipment, etc. When people skydive, base jump, etc, the authorities are aware and prepared should anything go wrong.
I think it’s unfair to make a comparison between a random dumbass endangering himself and a highly regulated extreme sport.
Uhh no, I can go buy a parachute and go base dive tomorrow.
Give your head a shake, think a little further than your own nose.
You could try, but authorities will absolutely try to stop you, similar to boat guy here. It's just that stopping a base diver is a little harder.
That’s because a lot need to trespass to do what they do, or they want to do it for the clout.
Theres legal places to do BASE jump as well, just like you can take a watercraft out to ocean. They are blowing this single one out of proportion for some reason, almost anything you could find something slightly illegal to make a stink about if you really want.
You can walk into a cave right now, no training at all, not even a tiktok tutorial, you can buy anything online with absolutely no training on how to use it and freely use it at your own will.
So If we want to say " hey that dick head is doing something really stupid.... Again.... Maybe we should just leave him out there, because thats where the dumbass obviously wants to be" thats all cool as well, we're just untrained dumbasses typing.
