There's also video on the site in the video section.... to go with the article.

what the hell is this? a guy reads the 'List' and can determine we have low dopamine levels. maybe this is just a poorly written news article. you can't make assumptions of this kind and have them taken seriously without real statistical data, control groups (haha), etc. does anyone know if there is a published document of dr. Monasterio's "analysis".

video is definitely worth watching

A more detailed article is here:

Well I have graduated college, but in my freshman phych class, my book stated that skydivers and base jumpers alike... have a chemical imbalance and that is why we jump. I personally disagree and told my professor as well, but the book was required for the course at Kent state: and thousands of students had to buy it and read it. so thousands of students think we are nuts. fuck them all. They don't know how to live.

I don't know if anyone else has heard this one...... I was in a documentary a few years ago where the scientist or researchers had decided that the youngest sibling was more likely to be a risk taker and be involved in 'dangerous' or 'high octane' activities. They filmed it at our DZ.
