In 1992 with the world watching, Paralympic archer Antonio Rebollo shot the arrow of a lifetime to light the Olympic cauldron in Barcelona to begin the Summer Games. He had extracted a promise from organizers to allow him a second shot if he missed. It was not necessary.

Hey, remember when we weren’t concerned with everything being “completely safe?” We were having a lot more fun then.

Notice that he shot a big fucking flaming arrow over the heads of a few thousand spectators. “Completely safe” wasn’t something we used to give a crap about, and it was better.
