Summary

Two questions this week, plus a video I've been asked about more than anything in recent memory.

I break down the paraglider that got hit by a plane and why this stuff almost always lands on pilot error.

I answer a man rehabbing from a spinal tumor who can't run, swim, or ruck anymore and is staring down a third surgery. I tell him about my own injuries, the rabbit holes I went down, and what actually got me out. I tell the story of waking up from emergency surgery, sneezing, and being sure no one recovers from this. They put your intestines back by shoving them in. Walking to the end of the block was the whole goal.

And I answer a Marine on hazing. What's training and what's just a broken person dumping their baggage on you. Where the line is. Why drunk, angry, and violent isn't preparing anyone for anything.

0:20.8	It is Friday, and you know what that means. We are going to do some Q&A. And let's just dive right into this. I have three questions that I'm going to answer today. But before that, a request for everybody out there. I'm going to describe a video that has been forwarded to me
0:40.3	hundreds of times. And I just want to say, I've got it. Thank you. Thank you to everybody who
0:46.1	sent me this video. It is terrifying. Everybody wants to know what I think about it. So here we go.
0:52.1	I'll try to figure out a way to put this video into the episode. If I can't
0:58.0	do that, I'm going to broadly describe it. Now, this is about parasailing, which is an activity that I have
1:02.6	never done. And it can look really similar to speedwing flying or is a paragliding. This is paragliding.
1:13.1	Shows you how much I haven't done this activity. It has a fabric wing that is over your head. You're suspended in the skydiving world.
1:18.9	It would be your canopy and then the suspension lines that come down to your container or the harness

1:27.8	they call it in the paragliding world. It seems like at some point they crawl into this really
