Our sports are outgrowths of hunting. Whether it be in such obvious artifacts such as a "pigskin" (literally, a pig's skin, with the head at one end and the butt at the opposite end) in football, as the prey, or accurate javelin throwing and shot-put hurling, all related to accurate hunting, in my estimation.

And, then there's baseball..............

I'll let you know if I , indeed, come across a bear in the forest and have to use my homerun skills with my trusty aluminum baseball bat to knock his block off, or if I'm short on meat and need to go in deep and club a smaller mammal senseless and cook him up.

Nothing physical or violent in this one. This young lady apparently has what we might call a photographic memory.

Geeze, Murph! Are ya sure they weren't just quoting the Koran?

It seems like it could have been, huh, Mitch.

Did anybody ever notice that such daredevil recklessness is most often performed by males, esp. boys, adolescents, and young men. I'm not sure why girls don't usually get into such dangerous stunts. Maybe it has to do with males being warriors, deep in their genes. Or maybe females simply have more sense and would talk all about it in a group before ever acting so recklessly.

True. These girls, from Hondo's post, have carefully planned for coming to the end of this zipline.

People have, you are correct. Here are a couple of famous "trees for brakes" incidents.

Salvatore Phillip "Sonny" Bono was an American singer, producer, and politician .... Bono died on January 5, 1998, of injuries sustained when he hit a tree while skiing on the Nevada side of Heavenly Ski Resort.

Michael Kennedy died on December 31, 1997, in a skiing accident in Aspen Mountain, Colorado. He was playing football while on skis with several other members of the Kennedy family when at approximately 4:15 p.m. he hit a tree.

Tony Danza almost died in 1993 from tree impact while skiing. I don't ski, so is this just not paying attention until it's too late or losing control 1st and they hitting the tree?

I've always imagined that icy snow, like ice-covered ponds, presented places where "losing control" would be de rigueur, even with the right tools/equipment. That's why I have never gone skiing or pond skating - I don't like loss of control.

Of course, we'd have to overlook, then, my earlier days (in my 20's) of ice-skating at Rockefeller Center and roller-skating throughout Manhattan, in and out of subways, using the old fashioned pull-on shoe skates you would lace-up. (Different times in our lives for different passions, Huh.)

I often did wonder how Bono managed to hit a tree, though. By veering off the wide established course?
