Comment on Is it really worth the BS for a couple more years?

Based on these stories, it sounds like the real gameplan is to just take up increasingly extreme sports in your 50s and hope you die in an accident so you don’t live long enough to get decrepit.

The issue with that is that an accident might leave you in a state that’s alive but wheelchair-bound, bed-bound, blind or even fully vegetable. Vegetable might not be an issue because your consciousness is probably already gone, but it’s a huge strain on your loved ones. Being disabled might mean that you have a shit quality of life and now also have a hard time finding an easy/painless way to die.

Granpa always wants excitement
He’ll try anything new
So he made some homemade bungie cords
He would’ve been eighty-two!

May I recommend BASE jumping? It is considered the most extreme sport.

  How about cave diving? Might be cool to combine the two.
