I'm sure we could find some gray areas, but I think the gray areas will be more constrained than defining "dangerous".

Some dangers pay well too. Maybe that's a criteria? Is it more excepting if one makes a lot of money doing it?
We applaud people like Evel Knievel but make fun of people in fail videos all the time (or at least I do) haha

I really like that as a judging criteria. You may have nailed it.


I think so too. Danger is a challenge to be overcome through hard work and preparation to push human limits or accomplish some important goal. The guys sitting on steel girders eating lunch a hundred years ago was certainly dangerous. Reckless has different intentions and motivations and generally a sense of removal of preparation and forethought.

He was definitely reckless or wreckful if you prefer.

Masturbating a 1000 pound Boar with 6 inch tusks and a bad attitude is not only dangerous and legal but ,

Technical cave diving can get pretty ****ing gnarly.

Enter a relationship with a Mexican woman. If you are feeling suicidal, date one that is a Scorpio.

In the rain. On a holiday weekend.

I did that once. It was no fun.

Telling your wife that she, “Is just as ****ing crazy as her mother.”

Maybe it's also not illegal because society's not really concerned about the 100 people nationwide who do that sort of thing.

Oh, and I guess it's not all that different than that guy who free-climbed up that cliff face in Yosemite. That guy did something dangerous and he was a hero for 12 minutes. So what's the difference? Is it because he did something to stretch the boundaries of human accomplishments?

In the states, most of the crazy shit would be reckless endagerment, because you could hurt someone else (presumably hitting their body with yours). Illegal.

Probably work logging or fishing with no experience.

I've kayaked the Rio Grand 'Race Way' not the smartest thing I've ever done but it sure was fun and death defying. I knew I was in trouble when I hit my head on a boulder and my kayak got hung up in the rocks with the hull filling with water and me hanging onto the kayak with feet dangling. I knew I was in trouble when I hit my head on a boulder and I was hanging onto my kayak that was held up by the rocks and water gushing in I just had to let go and I became a human pin ball down the river I went. I finally got to the side of the river and climbed out of the rivine and onto a windy road with trucks zipping by. I walked another 3 miles along the road that if I stayed on the inside of the rail I could get squashed by a car/truck but if I walked on the outside it be a narrow and rocky sandy cactussy path along the cliffs where I could tumble back into the Rio Grand that was not nice to me from the start.



I also have a hazardous job working in a state mental hospital psych ward that all I got to defend myself is my wits and CPI training and hope somebody is there to help or security gets there. There is no shortage of crazy, but there is entertainment value with some patients better than True TV.

Hmm, good point. That complicates the analysis a bit if we essentially have a law that says, "Don't be a dumb***."

I always thought the guys that do this have to be insane. I hope they're paid well and have lots of company paid insurance.
