#1, being the youngest to sail around the world, is that really even fame? Does anybody care? You get a stop on Leno and Letterman, after that nobody remembers you did that. It's not like she just won 8 gold medals in one Olympics.

#2, risking your life for the pursuit of greatness is retarded. Risk your life to save your country and protect its freedoms? THAT is to be honored. Risking your life to set a record? That's just foolhardy.

I agree with this in regards to the 16 year old her parents should have held her back and her brother.

Now for some older thriller seekers they are not living unless they are doing something like this, so for them I say might as well go out doing something you love then sitting around hating your life.

Even then, I don't get it. Falls into the category of riding motorcycles, it just makes no sense. Find something else fun to do that doesn't involve risking your life.
