Would there ever be cause to stop?

Blown main tire at mid field, fire? They're unlikely events, but either one might just end your tour in this scenario.

funny, I skied and had some beers with McConkey in Portillo around 11 years ago as well, they were filming a Warren Miller ski movie there. He was doing some crazy mountain base jumps with ski landings...

It works right up to the time it doesn't
Even the Citation dropped a little after leaving the pavement.
Thie reminds me of the new movie Mc Conkey.
He skied off of mountains and popped a chute hundreds of times.
It worked every time except once. His last.
I was lucky to have met him and skied a run with him in Chilie.
I look at this stuff with the understanding that if the odds on success are 1000/1 and you do it 1001 times, the doctor says "boy, you gonna die".
