And maybe it was the fact that he was only 20 years old.


Are you saying 20 year olds are stupid?


A flight instructor with whom I spoke about this accident claims he saw a
Discovery Channel documentary that discussed a theory that the
risk-assessment part of the human brain is not fully developed until about
25 years of age. For what that's worth...

The age of the average participant in the various X-Games sporting events
seems to support this theory.
