I am not sure that I would be proud of that! Despite having had some good sound advice from your mates you managed to get talked into doing something that you had not planned or really thought through. 
You were no doubt lucky on that day and managed to survive (both as a pilot and a human being) to tell the tale. Fortunately we tend to be a bit more professional nowadays, but I suppose we will always get one or two who think that they can impress others by flying lower and faster than the last guy. Unfortunately it tends to be the less able aviators who want to prove themselves in this way but only manage to put their ac and fellow aviators into situations that they do not really have the skills to carry it off safely or competently. I wonder how many more ‘incidents’ we need before we all see the light, but perhaps I am getting too old?
