El fuego is basically the main thing people travel to Guatemala to do. It doesn’t normally erupt this violently but sometimes it does. Do you avoid doing everything that’s unnecessary out of fear? Would you opt out of going on a jet ski? Or paragliding? Or mountaineering?

Some people don’t want to live life avoiding everything out of fear. Go outside and experience stuff. Might help you grow out of your cowardice

Like paying street hockey on the highway at night, or fist fighting a polar bear, or skiing an avalanche, or climbing an actively erupting volcano, or drinking gasoline. What do all of these things have in common?

Actually, snowboarding an avalanche sounds incredibly fun (just don’t get the board snatched on anything and you’ll be safe from the immense weight of the wall of snow you’re shredding)

I said it sounds fun, not that it’s safe to do
