Extreme sports tricks are becoming increasingly complex, the courses ever more challenging and crashes all too common.
I broke my wrist at summer camp playing a game called 'volleybat,' which was baseball but with a volleyball. It is as dangerous as it sounds.
I don't want my kids to box - no way.
I don't think parents always know where their children are going or what they are doing, what they are up to.
Anything that's slightly dangerous and gets the heart rate going is my kind of workout.
We'd be doing parkour on my high school roof; we'd get in trouble. But I was never a reckless kid.
A risk-insensitive leverage ratio can be a useful backstop to risk-based capital requirements. But such a ratio can have perverse incentives if it is the binding capital requirement because it treats relatively safe activities, such as central clearing, as equivalent to the most risky activities.
For a date, I'd like to do something different to drinks or dinner - like walking around Camden for a day in the sun, or something weird, like skydiving. Then at least if you don't get on you've had fun.
I don't want my kids growing up believing that there is nothing destructive in the world.
