How are there so many people willing to do something so insanely stupid?

I looked at the BASE fatality list. Vast majority of the names and nationalities are of European descent and/or nationality.

Are adventure sports (risk taking for thrill) a white European thing? Do you have to have a sort of arrogance and privilege to disrespect risks like this?

I personally have no desire for any of this stuff, as I'm quite aware of risk generally.
