Here's What We Do In Sedona -- For Fun!

Very cool, Dan. I'll sign up next time I come to Sedona.

All the thrill seekers live up north!
In Tucson, we just watch cacti grow.

Pretty cool, but no thanks!!

He is indeed wearing a helmet. :-). Seinfeld used to do some jokes about skydivers wearing helmets. He said - when you hit the ground after falling 3,000 feet, that helmet is wearing YOU.

I've been cycling all my life and am perpetually aggravated by helmet campaigns with slogans like "be safe, wear a helmet". Helmets are fine but they offer very limited protection, in certain types of collisions. And they aren't magic, although many people obviously think they are and seem amazed if you point out that wearing a helmet does not actually reduce your chance of a crash. Probably 90% of people think that styrofoam bike helmets prevent concussions, which is unfortunately not true, just like it isn't true in football; they're too hard and stiff, and don't absorb enough of the impact; your brain still bounces against your skull.

By focusing the public's attention on helmets instead of on the factors that cause accidents, helmet advocates actually make cycling less safe.

This is all we did in Boston this winter.

Conor: Oh.... Brrrrr.

yikes! Dan you said "we"?

I went skiing today. Wore a helmet.

My stomach is queasy just watching...wow

OMG, Dan! Gosh it's a good thing he has a helmet or that could be dangerous!!!!!

Awww heck Dan, I did that on a one-wheeler....with a blindfold on. :)

I agree with Jim, an alarm went off inside of me when Dan said everything was OK because he was wearing a helmet riding on a cliff. Helmets give only very limited protection. A helmet didn't help the professional women skateboarder who died when she didn't land right. Falling off that cliff would cause one to flip head over heels probably many times over.

All I could see was that pale line around the red rock - I care less about the fool on the bike and whether or not he slips - if he/she don't know the danger - - - That helmet won't protect his spine, his arms, legs or hip bones - as a riding friend of mine said - well - at least they'll be able to see the face and tell who it was.

This person has a death wish and deserves no attention.

I do, however, appreciate your sense of humor with your subject title and following statement.

It's not the fall that necessarily gets you, it's that sudden stop at the bottom. It's a triple "D" threat so to speak. Daredevil, Dumbass, and Death, all start with "D". Just my personal opinion mind you. It's a free country, at least for now, and people are permitted to voluntarily thin out the herd.

And to think he did it all with his eyes CLOSED! :-))))

Personally I think the music is all wrong, How about 'The Ride of the Valkyries' instead?

Dan was, of course, joking when he said the guy was safe because he was wearing a helmet.

"yikes! Dan you said "we"?"
"Come on Dan.....Here's what WE do in Sedona for fun???? WE.....really? :-))"

Well, OK...that's like saying "we" have Tom Brady on our team and "we" won WWII. Sorry :-) Even though I have nice grippy tires on my bike and have done a fair bit of trail riding, the White Line is a little out of my wheelhouse. That, and I'm too chicken. I've cracked up enough at ground level to know falling off a cliff is going to put me in a mood.
