He could stay home and watch TV for 15 years that might kill a twenty something. Good for him he wants to live! He can stop if he wants no law saying he must do the whole thing.
Is this the guy I read about that ran a marathon not long ago ?
Best wishes Lou
Yes you are right considering that taking into consideration the unreasonable risks he is taking he does not carry an Epirb or Satphone and will not call for help if something goes wrong not putting the life of others in danger and not wasting public money on probable search and rescue operations.
From an interview:
"But after all, I'm 76 so there's an 8% chance I won't live through next year anyhow. The odds aren't that bad, so you may as well go out and try it."
8% of chance he does not make it trough net year and what would be a chance that he lives through the next year but needs medical attention? 50%? and how much this situation will increase the risk of him needing medical attention, I mean fragile bones broken, muscular problems, that sort of thing? 50%?
What would be the change that he will make it without problems that will need help? 20%, 10%?
