Videos like that, and watching Chad flop his last year make me cringe everytime I get a little off camber.

Yep, you never know when it going to happen.

Of course attempting an obstacle like that without a cage is stupid too

Yeah I need a cage badly too....but I'm also in agreement with you shouldn't be attempting stuff like that without one.

I've had some worrisome moments.
