The turtle refused to go back in its shell.
Vikings safety Andrew Sendejo, however, did leave his comfort zone for an exhilarating moment while dressed in a Raphael costume from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
The eccentric Sendejo, who excelled in martial arts during his youth, participated earlier this month in the annual “Over the Edge” fundraiser to benefit Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas.
Participants who raised or donated enough money were allowed to repel and lower themselves 38 stories down a skyscraper hotel in Austin, Texas, to help grant wishes to brighten the lives of young people who are battling life-threatening conditions.
