    That depends. If I was doing it and I was setting up the safety factors and you understood them and why, then I might. But that may still be too much of a risk factor. The only way to tell would be to set it up and ax it as we got closer to doing it if it wasn't going "right" or the risk ended up still too high.

    Consider the probability of axing as near 100%. I'm not comfortable with water immersion. Even with safety personnel in place, including a paramedic I'd trust to save my life on the side of the road when I wouldn't trust most doctors, ... nah, I just can't see this transpiring.
Most likely, yes. I'm not in any hurry to die. :) Usually.

    See, if you got into trouble, I'd want to jump in and save your silly ass. Doesn't matter that I know now I'd be increasing the risk factors, not helping them. Doesn't matter that I know I'd probably end up needing saving myself. Doesn't matter that I really detest personal water immersion. I'd still end up instinctually jumping in to effect a save, dangers be damned. Probably one of those irrational inexplainable things that comes along with loving you.
*ahem* *blush* So, we'd have to tie you to the wall as one of the safety precautions. :) Ine of these really hot summer days, we're going to have to get you to a pool to make you learn how to swim. :) It's a personal crusade of mine that people should *not* be allowed to drown.

    At this time, no, I can't think of another pitcher I'd trust to conduct such a scene. I'd have to trust said person enough to perform it without me there, for the aforementioned reasons. I'd have to see a pretty damned big benefit for you to go through said scene. Hell, there'd be a lot I'd have to personally work through before I'd feel comfortable. We're talkin' life-riskin' stuff here. Water is an unforgiving mistress.
Sometimes I think I'd be pushing your limits just to make you watch me go swimming normally, Tiger. Honest. It's not *that* dangerous to just go out and float on the water. Really.

The only benefit I could see would be lots of money for performing the stunt in the first place. Didn't Houdini drown?

    I really detest burying loved ones, you know?
Yeah, well that's a mutual feeling. besides. I would much rather be creamated I think....

Creation...the ultimate fire play.
