Looks like he went about it the right way to me. What did you expect him to do? Just leave it there and walk out?

Yea, I mean what else would you have done?

I guess the real question is would you be stupid enough to haul *** hell bent at the summit of a mountain without knowing whether or not impending death lies on the other side.

I just got word...not $4000, it's $16,000!!! No wonder, he will hang on with his teeth...

Were all saying this because he didn't fall, if he falls, different mindset

That's life & dead...not just asphalt scra

It's not about the dollar amount. I would have done the same thing, got off, back it out, got back to throwing snow.

Its not like he swam out into shark or aligator infested waters for a jet ski.....which I have done BTW.

That's crazy! I don't know what I would have done. That's good he was moving slow though getting off the sled. Any crazy movements could have set that sled tumbling! I think the real question would be what he would have done if that sled didn't have reverse on it!

That is a whole separate point estate! NEVER go out there alone. That was a really stupid decision.

Most people have no idea how many sharks we have right here , barely off the beach.
