If someone said, "I want to be the first blind person to drive accross the country in a car", is that manifestly unsafe?

If someone says, "I want to be the first blind hunter to shoot a deer(while hunting alone)", is that unsafe for the protected species (including us)?

Some adventures become "stunts". Some stunts are performed for personal gratification (or renewal, it you like) -- some for the benefit of others. Somethimes the benefits really aren't what they're professed to be. (Like, I'm fornicating as offen as possible to show how everyone should be kind to others. ;^)

I believe, all kidding aside, that having that person alone on a bot is manifestly unsafe to not only him, but others. The others might those who later try to rescue him -- or it might be to someone that he hits.

I'd be saddened to tell someone that I love, "you can't drive, because you might kill someone else."
