We live in a world (most of us) that is incredibly safe by historic standards.  Hence the rise of Extreme Sports and 
other risky behavior.

For my part I am glad to live in a world where it is still possible to willingly do stupid - and even potentially fatal 
- things.  I've done all sorts of them, and given that (to this point) I am still alive to describe them I can verify 
that they have generally kicked serious ass.  From sailing small boats in shrieking storms to running full-tilt from 
rock to rock (don't slip!) to tree-bashing (duck! [that's downhill skiing in the woods for you flatlanders]), these are 
among the most alive moments of my life.
