I've white water rafted and ski (both known for brain damage) but they give you an endorphin blast when you survive. In fact, I know a famous gun writer who told me that he was rafting or canoeing in a foreign land. Got his noggin knocked, seemed fine. Then a few days later in this foreign land, he asked his wife - hey, where are we? She said in a foreign land. What the heck are we doing here? The guy fugue stated for days after the knock.

One thing that was cool. When we rafted through a Class 4, we pulled to the side to watch others do it. One guy got through and said:

We did it - Ha.
WE did IT- haha
WE DID IT - hahaha
Hahahaha
HahahahaHahahaha
HahahahaHahahahaHahahahaHahahaha

They ended up taking Mister Haha up the bank to a truck and off the the ER.

Just my opinion, as a FOG - I put forward the voice of caution. I also worry about the obligatory I can handle myself in a fight statement (one should be able) as a reason for unnecessary risk and the underestimation of an opponent. We've had people post that they can take the gun away from anyone (in the universe) at close distance for example.

Maybe I'm too cautious or critical but that's my role.
