Why do people risk? Don't they love themselves? Do they think nobody love them..or? Do they consider that life just simply rubbish? I can understand imprudence of youth (adrenaline etc.), but when the person is for thirty, why he (or she) unable to stop and understand, he(she) is necessary to someone?!

I think taking risks is not bad in itself. What is important is the relationship between risk and return.

I really came to ask that question when I saw videos like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yU4rp_oRK0Q
I admire climbers! it's really hard sport or tourism? even am at a loss as it correctly to call, but after all - the sport. Yes, to overcome itself brings possibly a special pleasure! Too much physical training it demands and and it's certainly dangerous, but in what degree it's dangerous? You count the forces, to know on what tops to climb and which aren't available for you yet, gradually learn, plan the routes of the climbing area, you have a conductors eventually, so, you not recklessly climb to mountains, isn't it so?
I know there are some people addicted to adrenaline, do you think that it is an illness and it should be treated? On some sites are described cases of the address to the psychologist about this. Or is this normal, how do you think? Is a dependence on the adrenaline develops as a drug addiction? Whether it becomes a life-threatening eventually? In mountaineering it would be very dangerous! Why not to stop after the broken leg or a hand? Or the risk becomes insuperable desire? Why about this dependence don't speak so much like about tobacco, alcoholic or computer dependency? Because extreme sports are expensive and are less widespread?
...But in the end, you can get addicted to anything.
.. I'd assume it depends on how much people refuse to stop, or on how much they lose sight of the risks, or.. you get what I mean.
