Goddamn! You are one radical son of a bitch!

Keanu Reeves has done some pretty radical things in his life. But perhaps his most radical (and rash decision) was to jump out of a perfectly good airplane to try and catch Bodhi. 

Why is it rash? Let's analyze. 

In 1913, Webster gave the following as one of its definitions for "rash:"

Uttered or undertaken with too much haste or too little reflection

In this context, can we be certain Keanu is being rash? If we watch the video clip of Keanu's behavior leading up to his inexplicable decision to jump without a parachute from the plane, one will immediately notice that he is demonstrating signs of immense frustration. Once Bodhi jumps out of the plane, Keanu begins hitting the sides of the plane with signs of frustration clearly visible on his face. Keanu then curses loudly ("FUCK ITTTTTTT!"), picks up the gun Bodhi absentmindedly left behind (poor decision by Bodhi), and jumps after him. 

But hold on here. Is this really a rash decision? I think it probably is because in hindsight, Keanu should have reflected more (and longer) on the fact that falling onto the ground from an elevation of 15,000 feet could cause one or more of the following:

-Nausea
-Hypothermia (if it is really cold outside)
-Vertigo (if he were to find himself in an uncontrollable spin)
-Serious injury to bones or internal organs (from contact with ground)
-Possible death

Well. We know that Keanu survived this daring endeavor by catching up to Bodhi in midair (aerodynamics and acceleration are two of Keanu Reeve's greatest skills) and holding on to him. Upon landing, Bodhi exclaims:

"Goddamn! You are one radical son of a bitch!"

Interesting choice of words Bodhi, but I would have used rash.


Overall Rashness of Keanu Reeves' Decision to Jump From the Plane Without a Parachute: 7.2/10
