To each their own. I couldn't "free solo" for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that I'm not a climber. Add to that being a father and it's just not an option anymore.. Especially "speed free soloing". Free soloing as shown in the original post at least looks controlled, steady and well thought out. I wouldn't be surprised if professional free soloists were less likely to get killed thank race car drivers etc. At least in climbing it's just you and your environment, other peoples shortcomings don't factor in.
