Is it "eventual suicide"? At what point does a test of ability become an eventual suicide? I mean, barring the result similar to the one you mentioned, of course. I'll grant there are some who will over challange themselves, and others who actually seek death by sport, but is someone doing this kind of thing necessarily doing it to die or to simply enjoy the thrill?
I’ve seen ravens fly through dense forest many times. It is absolutely jaw dropping amazing to watch how agile these large birds are in challenging territory. Not surprising to me that other birds have similar capabilities, or that some people would desire to do the same kind of things...
