Yesterday after reading this thread,
Deep Diving 108 feet w/ a single AL 80 (Air.) No redundancy.
I went for a mountain bike ride as it was an absolutely beautiful fall day hear in CO. I am a 30 year veteran of the sport and even spent a few years racing in the pro cross country field regionally. At one point I was in full confidence of my abilities going 30mph down a steep rocky slope on a narrow single track while wearing nothing but spandex and a foam bucket on my head. The thought popped into my head, is this survivor bias or experience? How does one know? I certainly haven't made it through my entire biking career unscathed. I have been in the hospital multiple times, and I have had friends that died. So what is the answer? When is someone assumed to know what they are doing? How does one know the difference between skill and ignorance?
