Ian Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Still don't understand the thrill of risking your life. And to purposely do it, is even dumber.A lot more people die skiing and playing football and such. Obv more people do that but it's less dangerous than it looks if you know what you are doing. Driving is the biggest risk by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 Still don't understand the thrill of risking your life. And to purposely do it, is even dumber. it can be done without any danger so easy on the judging. Sure, some will push the boundaries. I thought a couple that chased the Katie, OK tornado were being reckless but thats just me. I'm not there, I've never chased. I think Ian knows what he's doing. He's a big boy.

MN Transplant Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Still don't understand the thrill of risking your life. And to purposely do it, is even dumber. You can do it relatively safely. You have to remember that line of sight in the plains is dozens of miles, while it is dozens of feet to the nearest tree/building here. The crazy ones are the people that purposely try to get really close due to the thrill or the chance to make a bit of money by selling a video.

mattie g Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Still don't understand the thrill of risking your life. And to purposely do it, is even dumber. By definition, isn't risking your life a purposeful act? Fine...I'll put the grammar swastika away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I've never chased, so I won't pretend to know all of the dos/donts but it seems like instances of chasers being injured are when they just get too damn close. El Reno 2013 seems like a good example of that. Chasers that were killed (Twistex team) were just too close. Mike Bettes and the weather channel, while not seriously hurt, were all tossed off the road driving big SUVs. Again, too close. And, in the case of El Reno that was just a crazy storm......seemingly unpredictable throughout its duration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly i know nothing about chasing, so i was more asking than criticizing anyone. Thank you guys for the explanation. Ian have a great, safe trip and enjoy yourself.

wxdude64 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 In Colorado now, beautiful weather. Was not disappointed as snow fell on my way in from Silver Plume to other side of I 70 tunnel. Nothing on the ground in town, but mountains are outstanding! 32 degrees this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Perspectives. So, yesterday while son and I played disc golf in low 50's, noticed 1/3 of guys with no shirts on, and 1/2 people (including me) in shorts. 10-20 boats on the water in lake that son said just had last ice melt off two weeks ago.
