Same for people who smoke cigarettes, eat excessive amounts of fried food, or take part in copious amounts of unprotected sex with multiple partners.
I recognize that their actions are accepting of risk. But I don't know that they are accepting of risk.
People ride motorcycles because they enjoy it. People who wreck and survive, still enjoy riding motorcycles. Risk isn't really evaluated in their approach or their return.
Same with cigs, and fatties, and unprotected sex-fiends.
edit Ask a cigarette smoker what they think of the risks of that cigarette they're smoking.
They're in it for the nicotine, not for the larger evaluation of its risks versus its rewards
