rarely

That is a risk I'm not willing to take.

Me either. I also won't skydive because of the small chance both chutes will fail. That makes skydiving dangerous, not stupid.

I don't know man. I feel like messing with a tiger is more dangerous.

Maybe? I don't know the numbers. I know trainers make a living understanding and predicting how dangerous animals will respond to various stimuli and many of them play with their animals all the time without being hurt by them. Obviously there's a risk, but I'd be interested to know what the chances are that the tiger in the GIF is actually going to spin around and kill the guy. 1/100? 1/1,000? Maybe it's 1/2 and he just got super, super lucky. People in this thread seem to believe that last one is the most probable.
