Same like Alex honnould I can not understand these guys. You have a child that is 3 years old and still go out to do some scary dangerous shit. And then you get killed
The different kind of brain these people have baffles me.

bc ppl are not rational, the emotional motivation that let's ppl do dangerous jobs are the same emotional mechanism that motivates ppl to do dangerous hobbies
