No helmets required for this sport...; There's nothing there to protect...

HOLY CARP!!!
That is so cool! Great camera work on that video! If I weren't married, I wouldn't mind giving that a try...

Of course, helmets would be of minimal protection if you impact the ground at 100 mph.
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

Your rationale being that married people are in enough pain already?
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

The passes next to the highway gave me the willies - narrowly missing the bluff of rocks as they approached.
