Ben did not initially ask Tara to dance because he was not brave enough. When a slow song came on, he decided he was brave enough to ask her. However, by that point it was too late, as Tara was leaving. Felix Baumgartner broke two records by skydiving from 128,000 feet, falling through the sound barrier and setting the record for highest skydive. While skydiving from such extreme heights would be too terrifying for some, Baumgartner was brave enough to accomplish this feat.
