Here's a guy who plays a fool for a living....
Exploring the waters off the coast of the Kilauea volcano, the group was filming their latest installment for the TV show Kaiak, an adventure-kayaking program aired on Brazil’s Channel Off.

Yipes! Doesn't look like he's acting, he IS a fool. One step away from "Faces of Death".

Looks like he's trying for a Darwin Award, actually.

Chris & Ben are legendary for their extreme kayaking (ie...do NOT do this on your own, kiddies)
They have survived arctic glacial falls, a crocodile attack that killed their guide, extreme rapid & waterfall drops, including our own Rainbow Falls on the same trip that the lava shots were taken....
I do appreciate their skill, remember when I used to try some fairly nice drops & rapid trips, just to see if I could, but feel lucky I never caught the extreme bug... those guys feed on the adrenaline...but it still is a fairly small, collapsible, melt-able, freeze crack-able poly boat with some nasty rocks & molten lava a splatter away...

Life is too short to hate on people having a good time kayaking.
