    As a former rider (due to injuries) and parent of an up-n-coming rider, this pushed my buttons. I knew MT biking was going to push riders to more and more extremes, and I think this ride pushed me over an edge. The whole point of this was to showcase that he survived a ride with unimaginably small margins of error framed by some beautiful cinematography. The only thing that kept coming up for me is thinking about how stupid a ride like this is and how saddened I am by all the riders that will end up like me with life changing injuries or worse. I wish the focus wasn't how close you can come to death, but still get likes on your video. RIP Dan Osman.

      It looks magnificent. Of course a lot of work went into this. Parts of the ride are repeated to get the right shot. So it's not even a romantic explosion of willpower to make a descent. It's contrived so as to be spectacular. And it seems a little distasteful to risk death so as to show off.
      I really don't like to see this amount of risk taken. Our lives belong to us but also to the people who care about us. They shouldn't be wasted.

      It's easy to show a video when everything went well. But hundreds of people get hurt a lot: this is not shown on UA-cam, but you have to imagine it given the danger of this activity. The Veneto Region alone spent almost one million euros from January to August 2024 on mountain rescue. 70% of the people rescued arrive outside Italy... A large part does not pay for the rescue, despite the invoice being sent. Not to mention that the rescue personnel is highly specialized, a minute by helicopter costs hundreds of euros. To the Veneto region we must add the costs of all the other regions from the Alps to the Apennines. These activities must be prohibited, if you are unable to take responsibility in the event of an accident.
