I will happily throw a paraglider around in the mountains while suspended by very thin kevlar lines knowing that a dicey thermal can collapse the wing requiring me to recover the canopy while hurtling earthwards. I love it.
My personal best is 10,500 feet over Marlborough in a balloon. The viz was so good that I could see the Solent. One day, I'll do 30,000 feet.
Try getting me up a 15 foot ladder
Can't explain it
