Having spent more than 30 years as a full-time sponsored extreme sports athlete, Will Gadd now teaches his two young daughters how to navigate life and mountains. In this humorous talk he tells us why he’s happy when his five-year old classifies a situation as “Bumps and bruises only” or “Death,” and outlines a few simple tools we can all use to navigate the risk inherent in life.
Will Gadd is one of the top outdoor adventure athletes in the world, an award-winning writer, filmmaker, and dad.
He has ice-climbed, paraglided, kayaked and trekked in some of the most extreme corners of the planet. A National Geographic “Adventurer of the Year”, Will has climbed icebergs in Labrador and underground ice in Sweden, was the first person to climb a frozen Niagara Falls, and recently returned from climbing the last ice on top of Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro.
While best known for his accomplishments as an adventure athlete, Will's is also passionate about sharing his ability to complete those adventures safely, and helping individuals see the world and themselves differently.
Will has appeared in, hosted or produced more than 100 global television projects, and is well-known for his Discovery Channel documentary series Fearless Planet, where he traveled alongside regional scientists to explore the geology of the earth.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

This is by far the most balanced, the most realistic and the most fun presentation on risk management I have seen in my nearly ten years of being a risk management professional. It is relevant to health & safety and also to corporate risk as well which is the area I practice in. Really a fantastic perspective on risk management. Thank You Will.

other than knowing the basics, we need to develop the method statement... a plan of the detailed steps to be used

Excellent thought process, a lot of ideas opened up my mind to thinking rationally in recognizing the danger but giving a lot of practical what if scenario erring on the side of safety.

Anyone who can climb an ice bound Niagara falls has to be worth listening too.

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." Its actually Frank Herbert, from the book Dune.
