You had a couple of bad trips? They way you describe them it was awfully bad, and yet you did it more than once?

Maybe he had like 230 trips, and of them, a couple was bad.

"Bad trip" is a huge space of possible levels of bad. I've had tons of uncomfortable trips but none were "bad" enough to deter. Each person has a widely varying level of comfort with discomfort and resolve to keep trying. Same thing with extreme sports or any voluntary exposure to discomfort with perceived gain.

I fractured my leg the first time I went skiing. I went skiing again the next season without a second thought because it seemed like I could have fun if I was careful to do it right.

Yep I was dumb. The first one was bad. The second one was infinitely worse.
