When you first start it feels dangerous. It's much easier to evolve a feeling of danger, caused by things like unexpected body movement, than to evolve an instinctive ability to calculate the true danger.
- benj111 8y agoRe remembering a dangerous situation, I was thinking more 'that hairy thing with the pointy teeth just ate my friend, better stay away from it' Cycling seems rational? In a way that adrenaline wouldn't help you remember. Think of soldiers doing drills. They aren't in danger when they actually do the drill. The idea is that they do it automatically when they are I danger, rather than just freezing. I'm not sure actually shooting at new recruits while training them would lead to effective training, but we could try it :).

Riding through the woods or particularly rough roads where your wheels scoot to the side on obstacles is exciting too. My understanding of basic training comes only from popular media, but some of the drills at night without warning to enhance the simulation of danger. Fear of the drill sergeant may work too.
