I concur. Just because someone has the skills to do something (as long
as all goes well - never a guarantee), if the enhanced potential to
hurt other people exists (as it always will on a day like that at the
Wedge - especially with a 20' potential projectile), thinking of
others should trump fun/ego/bravado/whatever; regardless of one's
prowess and credentials. I'd call it selfish and irresponsible, at the
very least.
