I would tend to agree. It's borderline offensive to me that some snap back with "how stupid" because their threshold for acceptable risk is different and pushing up against it doesn't thrill them.
But I nevertheless have hangups with the original scenario as described. It seems constructed to dial up social pressure and exploit it to provoke careless behavior and avoid accountability. Countercultural in a sense (arguably straddling antisocial) but that's not the same as good, and it's nothing like those sports that usually have a culture (hmm) of planning, safety, and consent.
Well, maybe not motorcycling and skateboarding so much as the others, but you get the gist.
And yet, there's still something appealing about the idea... can't quite put my finger on it, but perhaps I've already blown it off.
