That’s totally true, though people routinely make bad decisions that get them killed while on a couple glasses of wine. In 2023, in the U.S., where I live, more than 100,000 people died of alcohol related causes, while a mere 10 people died from skydiving, out of almost 3.5 million skydives. Romania (where you live?) seems to have pretty high per-capita binge drinking. Maybe drinking actually is closer to Russian Roulette and skydiving is further than it seems at first…
Parent comment is also totally true: there are lots and lots of enjoyable and risky activities. Driving your car is very dangerous and results in immediate and gruesome death for hundreds of thousands of people every year. People do rock climbing, river rafting, heroine, fentanyl, motorcycle racing, boxing, scuba diving, football…
Maybe you also take unnecessary and potentially terminal risks, and don’t even get the adrenaline benefit.
