I'm pretty sure this depends on the person doing the activity. Every safety feature just allows us to push the boundary further. I've personally done some mountain gliding and there's serious risk there of death if you keep pushing the boundaries of speed, altitude, terrain, weather... Etc. The element of risk focuses the mind and gives you confidence over other less dangerous (more mundane) aspects of life later. In order words, it gives you perspective.

"Every safety feature just allows us to push the boundary further" Yes. Climbing with a rope makes you climb more dangerous areas. You plan for falling (which comes always with a risk involved). When free solo, you do not. So unless you literally have a death wish, you climb way below the level, you would do with a rope.
