When you’re twenty years old you think you’re immortal. It’s an
age at which you’re capable of putting your life in danger via extreme sports:
slung underneath a hang glider or clinging to the side of a cliff, as I have
done. At that age, you even laugh at death; you cheat it, as we say. You look
for the ultimate sensation, the thrill you feel when death passes close.
