Michael Mosley may have tried to do the same thing. Glad it worked well for you.

As I’ve recounted before, I very stupidly thought it would be fun to run down a steep hill, age 13.

Ended up in hospital with concussion, after the run very quickly turned into somersaults and smashing into trees etc.

they have these safety warnings at the grand canyon too… something about how descending is the easy part, the hard part is ascending and don’t overestimate your abilities. I started to walk down a slope and then turned back before I was tired, and I’m glad I did – apparently those safety warnings aren’t just there for show… that place is not for beginners, the unprepared, or anything with a soul…
