Are you a risk taker?

[RTBI2 0]

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:

PLEASE NOTE: To be in with a chance of winning please email me!!!

Thank you

Seems to be a popular research topic these days. We get a lot of these requests here.

This is a duplicate post.

I suggest keeping the discussion in one place, here:

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.

This thrill certainly is not cheap!

This shit, right here, is OK

when life gives you lemons, just say fuck the lemons and bail.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

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

[quesera 0]

Good point

I guess what I mean is that there's an assumption that we'll do anything for a "rush."
