RTBI2 0 #1 July 21, 2010 Hi All I'm a postgraduate student at Bangor University looking to develop a questionnaire to measure risk taking behaviours in high risk sport environments. If you participate in high-risk sports, for example, rock climbing, snowboarding, bouldering, sailing, skateboarding, base jumping, kayaking, trials biking etc, and you have 10 minutes to spare, and fancy winning up to £100, please click on the link below for more details: http://www.bangor.ac.uk/~pepa28/ PLEASE NOTE: To be in with a chance of winning please email me!!! Thank you Comille Bandura Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quesera 0 #4 July 21, 2010 I appreciate your study topic. I feel like people assume all skydivers (or climbers, etc) are "adrenaline junkies," who lead really dangerous lifestyles. Not true! I would say most of us are not reckless at all, and personally, I actually have a pretty tame life. It drives me crazy that life insurance companies, for instance, assume we're all trying to kill ourselves for some cheap thrill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RTBI2 0 #8 July 22, 2010 Hi Quesera If you could have the look at on the other poll in 'safety and training' i offer an explanation pretty much saying that the study is examining exaclty what you have just pointed out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quesera 0 #9 July 22, 2010 Good point I guess what I mean is that there's an assumption that we'll do anything for a "rush." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
