I live in a forest between a river and a winding road... I see people do craaazy shit all the time, from death races in expensive sports cars on the road to wave running way too close to the dock to loading paintball guns with ball bearings and shooting them in the woods; and I'm telling you it's not if someone does an Endor race with this thing, it's when.

You can also take gondolas to the top of mountains, but people still climb them, putting themselves in unnecessary risk of death for the same views.

There will always be some subset of people willing to do crazy dangerous things when similar safe alternates exist.

And I for one am excited to see the race footage.
