Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted Account" data-source="post: 2039314">[USER=468714]@kitedoc[/USER] and [USER=451727]@KK123[/USER] this discussion reminds me of an interview I heard with Andy Kirkpatrick, a British climber.The interviewer was concerned about the danger of climbing. Many years later, I still remember the gist of Kirkpatrick's response - there is risk in climbing but much of that risk you can manage: you can make sure your equipment is safe, you can choose routes to your ability, you can climb with a partner you trust, you can train on an inside wall to improve your technique, you can decide not to climb if the weather forecast is wet, ...I do not diving, but I believe, like climbing there are risks, and, like climbing you can mitigate many of them.I certainly don't live my life avoiding risk - I live it mitigating as much risk as possible.</blockquote>
