- His sister called 911 and likely saved his life; his parents were “disappointed” but relieved he survived.
Why Tom Prefers Engine-Based Thrills
- Tom prefers active, mechanically engaging thrills like helicopters and race cars over passive stunt experiences because they require continuous input and focus.
- He described helicopter training where you must constantly control cyclic inputs, making flight both hyper-aware and engaging.
Tom Took His Mom On A Wild Helicopter Ride

- He recorded her reactions and called it one of the hardest things he'd ever laughed at, despite her terror.
