What's the problem? Even if he falls off, he still has the winch to pull him in :-)

But seriously, fuck that. I don't even like the log bridge at Rausch Creek -- which is made of three logs on each side to essentially make it difficult to fall off.

That would be the experience of a lifetime though! I'd shit my pants, but that's sick!

I'd love to do it, but there's no way I could get the $$$ to build the rig and get down there without a BIG BIG sponsorship

Shitting your pants would be pretty sick

Which is exactly why I wouldn't shit my pants. Being out in the rainforest for days upon end after shitting your pants doesn't sound like a good time.

That would be an amazing competition to be a part of. I can only imagine the variety of terrain you'd encounter.

It'd be a challenging event and would carry a lot of pride and bragging rights with the winner.

Kinda reminds me of some of the stages of the Camel Trophy. The shit they put those old Land Rovers through was epic.

Cut me some slack, I'm 18 and a full time college student. Spare cash is hard to come by!
