An interesting thing to consider would the neurochemical make-up of these people. Certain make-ups will predispose people to seek the adrenaline, dopamine, serotonin, etc to light their brains up or even make them feel more normal compared to their base state. It remind me of Marc-André Leclerc (The Alpinist) who free-solo'd mountain climbs. He also frequently took 6 tabs of acid...I find this interesting. By no means is an out-of-balance chemical make-up the only reason for someone to seek the thrill of putting themselves in danger (far from it), but I am sure there would be a correlation
Absolutley. A great sign of this is in the mixture of responses people have to general exercise - some naturally inclined to dumps of endorphins, others, the sidelines. Thanks for the interesting perspective.
