Don't Look Down, Channel 4 documentary tonight

[sammyc]

Whatever your opinion on daredevilry, and mine is not necessarily hard & fast, programmes like this hit an undeniable envy/vicarious chord, speaking as one with rubbish balance. Somewhat spoilt for me by bringing the guy's mother into it, do we want to see Batman's mother? The Lone Ranger? Shane? James Bond? Not for me ta.

I enjoyed it. Particularly because I can relate to it in a way.

I do Parkour and truth be told my parents used to terrified about it. Speaking from experience I think it's good to show people the genuine fears and danger of it from a parents point because some people will just go out and do it. And some really do hurt themselves! And get arrested

That said it was a documentary, if people wanted to watch real tricks etc they'd probably just watch them on Youtube.

Oh very true of course, maybe I should have said I'd like an optional "if you aren't an impressionable sort and have no intention or indeed earthly possibility of trying this at home, and don't wish to take the edge of your illusion of cool people by seeing their mums, press your red button now"
