En av människans sämsta och mest fantastiska egenskaper är förmågan att skapa sitt eget narrativ.
Dean Potter flög ihjäl sig för nån månad sedan. det här är ifrån en intervju han gjorde för ett år sedan.
Q:You think the wing-suiting system is flawed?
A:For everybody, yeah. There’s something not quite right with the system. I definitely still jump, but I’m not pushing it as much right now in the air. I’m pushing it in the sewing room and designing safer gear. Maybe I’m known for doing really dangerous stuff for the last 25 years, but I’ve never been injured. I’ve always been really safe doing everything I do. More and more I’m realizing that I do have a system that works for staying safe. I’m trying to refine what that is. A lot of it is a decision making process. Another part of it is that I’ve always tweaked the gear. I’ve always made my own gear or adapted existing gear. I think between making gear safer and making a little checklist, like a pilot goes through when they get in their airplane—this is for climbing and for slack lining, too. I’m kind of calling it basic safety, and figuring out the checklist to eliminate as much as possible human error and gear imperfections.
