Some people live their lives in fear, bubble-wrapping every facet of their life in an anxious quest to ensure their constant safety. The kind of people that blow on their food more than twice, that wait for the walk signal on a visibly empty stretch of road or call an exterminator to deal with a hornet's nest instead of grabbing a butter knife and bandana and rolling up the sleeves of their Def Leppard t-shirt.

And then there are the folks who live on the edge; pushing the boundaries of sanity and regularly endangering their lives not for glory or riches... but just because that's how they do things. The kind of folks who p*ss on the altar of OSHA and think that every job should be a gamble with your life.

We salute the reckless idiots down below. They serve as a near-constant reminder of the fragility of human life and the enormity of human stupidity.
