Because it's enjoyable? Because they find some meaning in it? Why do they do any dangerous activity at all? If everyone was super concerned about their own safety above all else, then many activities (including basically all extreme sports) would have gone extinct.
Either way, I think people are way too obsessed with making life 'safe', when what matters should be that people can enjoy what they want as long as it doesn't risk those aren't willing participants.
- dekhn 8y agomany of my friends who did football did so because their parents made them. I don't think it's reasonable to push back against that if the long term consequences are high (for example, my friend's patella ended up wrapped around on the back side of his leg on a bad hit, he has permanent problems with mobility due to playing football at 18).
