Sheer bravery or false bravado

Dangerous stunt: One of the daredevils stretching out on the hammock strung across the Ipoh landmark sign.

It takes a lot of guts to climb up a tall structure on a sheer hill, with no safety harnesses to fall back on. But there is also a thin line between bravery and bravado – defined as a false, or an over-the-top show of courage.

THERE’S this guy called 8Booth. He likes to jump into swimming pools and into the seawaters off marinas. The only thing is, he jumps into the pools from heights of over 200ft. And off tall buildings, some eight-storeys high.
