skateboarding enuf, surfing more expensive
Skating much more likely to create expensive medical bills though imo
98% less chance of drowning though.
not sure where this 2% comes from, not that many places you can be on a skateboard that close to water
Anythings possible 😂 nostr:nevent1qqsf9y653vf25ssr8ln8swlxv8lej7qxx6usvs0847asqvv5l23mlwspz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3q9xgymswuxyq4sx58enft9c6algrm72a6lchplm4rjzgklufn9ygqxpqqqqqqz2m6w3y
if you are overconfident maybe... i never even really tried to master ramp skating because first few times i dropped in i broke my wrist, that was that, oh, and another time, i ended up with a huge laceration in my right hand so i stuck to the flat and the curbs and the benches, and got really good at that stuff
98% of sharks disagree
Lol. But seriously you are orders of magnitude more likely to hit a pebble and eat shit while skating that to get attacked by a shark while surfing
yes but when you make a mistake in the surf you can break your neck much easier getting gravel rash or a broken bone is nothing compared to paralysis
you're both right staying on couch with phone is much safer, 😂
100% certainty of death from that, less likely to die from sky diving
ouch, that hits close to home my friend, Cal, was gonna take me out skydiving on a Sunday, 1990..... https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/?date=19901217&slug=1110023 Found out when I called for the deets. Never been, considered it a sign. #rip

just like it's safer in a commercial passenger plane than in a car, i'd bet it's a rare event if i was a skydiver i'd have the backup AND a flightsuit in case both fail, in case i happen to have the possibility to head to a body of water at a low angle
flight suits didn't exist in 1990, but I've got another friend from Alaska that has some insane videos from his crazy-ass stunts. I'm attracted to extremes, lol, probably why I'm here. Cheers. 👊🏻
yeah, i think that flightsuits should be a third failure backup for parachuting, it would greatly increase your chances of finding a soft place to land, and has a very low catastrophic failure risk compared to a parachute, like one in million type of probability of the webs tearing off
