I wish/hope I have just a tiny smidgen of this guy's pluck.

Brave man ... but taking such risks can result in such horrible results.
I would never do such type of photography since I value life.

It's the British Bulldog spirit. A very brave man indeed.

Inspiring!

Flip side of the coin: Recently in the news - American soldier lost both legs due to IED, returned to USA, then fell to his death while riding a rollercoaster. Bad luck.

While admire and respect the man's pluck and determination nobody, and I mean nobody, needs pictures that bad. F**k with the bull, you're gonna get the horn...

Incredible story! When I read of what this man had already endured & still has determination to go on, my recent bouts of feeling depressed dealing with my recent high numbers in coping with my diabetes seem frivolous. His determination gives me hope to contuine onward. Thanks for posting this.

Damn good story, thanks for posting this. Makes every so-called 'difficulty' in my life seem trivial by comparison.
