Clearly there are those that get a thrill out of risk ... the greater the better.

Unfortunately ... it takes EXPERIENCE, something youth generally does not enjoy to adequately judge (and solve) the magnitude of the risk being undertaken.

At least that is the way I viewed my invincability in my youth.

Took a while to learn ... obviously I am still here. In retrospect, that might be a miracle all by itself.

You see lots of those at hospitals, mostly older folk that fall down and smack their heads.
