Perhaps, though I would suggest that the higher the
freak point value, the higher the fun value.  In my
mind, dilly-dallying back to the campsite where the
wine bottle awaits has a low freak value.  At the same
time, I have not yet been able to understand the
benefit of jumping from a bridge with a rubber band
tied to one's ankles.

Can use stretchy rope if you prefer, but its awful messy if you don't have 
something tied around some sturdy part of your anatomy.
