    As much as I like riding, this is one path that I will never ride voluntarily. The video was taken near Military Road in Arlington… kidding. Apparently it’s somewhere in the Austrian Alps. I might hike down that path. Maybe. But I wouldn’t ride down. These guys are insane.

    Austria must not have any lawyers. You would never see such a path built in the US because of the fear of lawsuits.

    I get the heebie geebies even at the thought of *walking* this path. Wow, is it narrow. Building those bridges must have been a challenge.

    it’s possible the trail largely predates modern concepts of liability

    Haven’t I seen similar video from Colorado or Utah or other exotic US locales? Can’t seem to locate it with a quick Google search, but I think I have.

    (Just to make the point that if you have a death wish — and I do not — you don’t have to go to Europe to fulfill it)

    Someone would have to pay me a lot of money to even consider attempting that.

    I wonder what their average mph was. :D
