SpoilerKai The Hatchet Weilding Hitchhiker - Netflix
Anybody else think this is the most poorly made documentary of all time? Most of the film is just these Hollywood parasites talking about how they desperately wanted to make money off a blatantly obviously mentally ill vagabond and then being shocked that he pisses in the street and has substance abuse issues.
The part about the "murder" was just squidged in at the end with the only commentary on it being "haha crazy, ya think ya know a guy". Nobody even slightly suspicious as to why a 73 year old rich lawyer was picking up a homeless pretty boy off the street and bringing him home, no acknowledgement of the fact that kai alleges the man sexually assaulted him, hence why he killed him and absolutely no insight into the trial what so ever.
What was the point of the documentary? Just to kick a man while he's down? I've been looking into it since and a lot of important details were left out like the fact that Kai is an indigenous Canadian and illegal immigrant, the fact that the deceased was found with semen and unidentified blood on his penis, Kai was denied a rape kit, the deceased's brother was part of the investigation and evidence of a dishwasher running for 2 hours during the crime scene investigation...
What did you guys think of the documentary? And so you think Kai was subjected to a mistral?
Other: I thought it would be really really fun. It was!
Published BMJ study showing NO difference in deaths / injuries when jumping from airplane with vs without parachute

Keep in mind when reading TRAs studies
None of these. I'm happy down on earth!
Same. Wouldn’t ever sky dive or deep diving either. I like my feet on earth thanks!
Damn Im usually very into risk and adrenaline even participating in some extreme sports but skydiving is... maybe not for me
Omg, sad story of my life. I am short and was always thin. I wanted to give myself a present of a parachute jumping for my 18th birthday. Asked my friends to give me money for that. Turned out my weight was not sufficient - you need to be 50 kg at least (in my country), I was around 45. My weight didn't change until I started doing sport and now with gained muscles I have 51-52 kg. But guess what? By now I have heard too many stories of people breaking legs while jumping with a parachute and now I just don't want to. I have always liked being scared in a safe way (horror movies, rollercoaster), but seems that parachute jumping is not that safe.
I've done it! Tandem, obviously. Brilliant fun. Unless you take it up as a hobby, it's a pretty safe experience. Statistically you're more likely to die driving a car.
I'm really just an unusually tall hobbit, and would prefer to keep my toes on the earth where they belong.
Honestly….. none of these? Personally I’m terrified of heights, don’t think anything could ever convince me to go skydiving LOL
Maybe a billion dollars, but that’s about it 😂
I’d love to go hang gliding and I’m intrigued by bungee jumping, but I’m not interested in totally untethered freefall.
Bailey's Irish Cream, probably.
I think that’s probably closest to answer #1?
Jumping out of a plane (tandem skydive) had fascinated me since lying on the trampoline when my kids were little and watching paras jump out of small planes above us. I was 35ish. Always talked about it. Knew I'd do it...one day. My daughter presented me with the jump for my 50th birthday. No qualms, no "uh...oh...um", not even any nerves. Rolled out of the plane at 8 thousand feet over the Sunshine Coast in Australia.
Tick!
Edit....I got to know a guy who sky-dived (dove? lol) many times. His girlfriend had died jumping. And even that didn't put me off :)
Other: it's something I've always wanted to do and I'd love to try it.
If I got to a point someday where I was no longer scared of heights, then I would consider skydiving to prove to myself that I really had overcame my fear. I'd be more likely to try to do the thing where you're on a kite being pulled by a boat, though. That looks like a better thrill/terror balance 😂
ONLY IF THE PLANE WAS ON FIRE AND GOING DOWN.
Even then I would have my hesitations.
This and this!
I was genuinely seeking this option in the choices as well.
