The risks of the high wire act, the vertical mountain wall climbing is that you can fall. We need to think up workable nets and ropes for people pushing the edges.

Two thoughts come to mind. (And that's all they are, just thoughts, possibly contradictory ones at that.)

One, we're all climbing the vertical mountain wall. It's called life. This even applies to those who seem to have it easy. Suicide is not limited to high flyers.

Two, pushing the edges and suicidal thoughts often have the same roots. And I'm not just talking bipolar.
