And sort of lastly, I mean, you know, speaking about your brother, it started with your brother and it kind of ended with your brother.

Have you ever thought what he may have thought of all of this craziness that came out of his little less adventurous brother ending up in this incredible situation?

Well, I was going to say it's kind of, in a way, it's been, I suppose, a nice way to memorialise him, I guess.

Absolutely.

His memory.

Didn't he what?

Michael Thexton survived a situation that was completely out of his control.

He was in the hands of men from another country, with a different culture, and who spoke another language.

But thankfully, it was a situation that would end after hours.

But what if you find yourself in another country, where you don't know the culture, you don't speak the language, and your ordeal could see you stuck not for hours, days, weeks, or even months,

Baz Hulse was an everyday blue-collar worker from the UK, and he would find that out firsthand.

While he was finalising the details of having his own dream holiday home in India, it soon turned into a nightmare.

A nightmare that would last ten years.

Skydiving.

It's built as a bucket list item that everyone should tick off at some stage in their life.

And in fact, over 70,000 people in Australia each year will take that leap in a tandem skydive.

Like anything in life, the sport comes, of course, with its risks.

But it wouldn't be an extreme sport without it.

If there was no jeopardy, there would be no fear, no adrenaline rush and no excitement.

But then when we do these things, I don't think we ever really actually believe something's going to go wrong.
