That, even with a college education, the stupidity of mankind knows no 
bounds.

If this guy has spent 5 min's and posted to this list a question such as 
"I want to go to 400' on air using a weighted sled to pull me to the 
bottom, is this a good idea?" he would have received at least 100 posts 
indicating, in uncensored detail, the myriad reasons why this would be a 
dumb, suicidal thing to do.

And it proves rule #1 once again. In this case even if you are a stroke 
yourself, surrounding yourself with stokes, none of whom have the 
intelligence and wherewithal to talk you out of doing something as 
spectacularly stupid as this, can lead to your death.
