Hunters of dangerous game roll the dice, that is part of the hunt.
A lad I taught to dive in Mozambique his brother was trampled by an Elephant in his 10 acre garden, they went out to chase it off and it nailed him so being killed with a rifle or in his case a large cooking pot acting as a drum made no difference.
Hein had to move to Botswana and take over the land they have which is an orphanage for the young locals.

Many years ago I was trampled by approx 60 adult cull sows. I managed to put stock board over myself & then another lad dragged me out. Still plenty of cuts & bruises, broken ribs & couldn't speak properly for couple weeks as they'd damaged my windpipe. Absolutely terrifying few seconds.

My objection to the DM is that they sell outrage and incitement dressed up as news. Like extra salt and sugar in junk food, it is designed to be addictive, raises people's blood pressure, hardens their hearts and makes them unhealthily fat(headed).
A good friend of mine reads it. And whenever he comes out with something nasty or stupid I know where he found it.
My grandparents on one side used to read it. I'm not a fan myself but do you think it's possible that you're using an ugly stereotype which you yourself mirror through the opinion you have of him?
C.S. Lewis had it right about newspapers/the media.
Same principle, although I was thinking of a slightly more wordy example!

True, but I don't hang around in lay-bys.
Its called Dangerous Game for a reason and its the main reason why folks do it - the Buz !, Its way more sensible than free climbing and such
In an arena containing DG in numbers.
