    Siffredi was the first to descend Mount Everest on a snowboard, completing this feat in 2001 via the Norton Couloir.[1][2] In 2002, he disappeared after making his second Everest summit, while attempting to snowboard the Hornbein Couloir; his body has never been found.

    dude actually did it once

      I made a rule for myself because of stuff like this

      If you’ve done something fun but incredibly stupid and got away with it the first time, never do it a second time.

        my mantra is “don’t tempt fate”

        could I e.g. jump off a 3 story building into a pool? probably. but if I’m wrong then I’m either dead or severely injured and will probably regret that jump for the rest of my life.

          I see where you’re coming from. But luck favors the bold. And I would most definitely regret not doing something for the rest of my life

          But after the first attempt your no longer bold, just dumb.

    Low self-preservation tendencies, but lots of money, is a bad combination. They can afford to get themselves into a lot of trouble.

    Good? Stay off the fucking mountain. It’s already been littered with human trash and bodies. It’s no longer a milestone it’s a human trash collector. Fuck him.
