Everyone has her own risk tolerance. We all know people who think riding a road bike is crazy. I know plenty of roadies who think riding a mountain bike is crazy. What I think is crazy, is making a conscious choice not to live one's life, in hopes that by reducing its scope, one can increase its duration.
Which is not to say that my personal risk tolerance is as high as any of the three individuals I've mentioned. It isn't. Only that if I decide I want to try something, IMO "it's dangerous" is not a valid reason to pass it up.
