But . . . . . but . . . . . . we wanna see him crash!!!!
Yeah, probably not a sport you want to be doing if you're lacking confidence. It's not like a downhill ski race where you can bail half-way down.
In the early 1980's a Canadian Everest expedition met disaster with three team members killed early on and others walking off the mountain, leaving a diminished summit attempt that was ultimately successful. By coincidence, I came across one of the men who had walked away,m talking with him only days after the successful summit. He and the others who had left, experienced mountaneers all, had essentially lost their confidence and felt it wasn't their time to be on that particular mountain at that particular moment. And for those staying, it was better that they had left.
