A guy literally jumped off the Eiffel Tower to test an early parachute, ignorant of what would happen if it failed.

  Perhaps it was more that risk taking and dying young from various illnesses was a thing that happened around you a lot, so you were more accustomed to it and didn't expect to live to 80.

  The fact he was testing a parachute would suggest he was well aware of the consequences.

  ...ignorant of what would happen if it failed. Then why was he testing a parachute in the first place? I think he had a better idea than you give him credit for.
