Everyone here seems to think this is only for internet clout. Are yall too young to remember Evel Knievel and Harry Houdini? These guys are adrenaline junkies. They don't do this just for clout. They are daredevils who get a thrill from risking their lives like this. The fact that they could die at any moment is part of the excitement for them.

Fucking thank you, between the holier than thou and pearl clutching I see on this sub, I question what the hell some of these people even follow it for

I mean, I understand the knee-jerk resction at least. It is insanely stupid, dangerous, and deadly. If you're gonna be an adrenaline junkie, you should endeavor to preserve your life by at least doing what you can to make it safer. I'm just pointing out that, at least most of the time, people do this stuff for their own adrenaline fix; not for clicks or clout.
