The context of the following conversation is Casey decided to go base jumping but had never been skydiving before. He was told by a professional he would fail if he tried without the proper training or experience. He decided not to go base jumping as a result.:
Casey says Remember how last weekend I was going to go base jumping with a couple of guys from the gym..
The friend responds I see you are still alive so I assume you didn't..
Casey responds Yeah, I was talking to a friend who is a professional sky diving instructor and he advised against it..
The friend responds I am not surprised, seemed crazy to me when you said it..
Casey responds Yeah, he said with out the proper training and because I've never done it, I lacked the expertise to not kill myself. I didn't go..
The friend responds I am glad you thought about it, I was pretty certain I was going to come in today to find out you were dead or in the hospital..
