Why do we as a species takes risks? my option on the really relates to our more primitive ancestors, back in the cave man days we would have to take certain risks in order to survive. This could very from ether just going across the river in order to look for better food resources to traveling the globe. this can be seen in more recent years, you can see this through the pioneers. Pioneers would travels thousands of miles across the country in order to find a better life, or to make a name for themselves.
I believe that this is what the new risk takers are really looking to do with there amazing stunts. And the reason why they are becoming so extreme is because of the new competition that is coming in. in many different fields there are people that are always pushing the limits on what there is. You can really see this with Alex Honnold. Alex has been really testing the boundaries on what is really possible with the sport of rock climbing. on of the things that he has done recently that has just stunned the world is free soloing (with out ropes) El Captain in 3 hours. This climb is huge it is one of the largest climbs that there in in our world. And for most people its takes like two days with ropes to do it. and these are some of the bet climbers that have troubles with this climb and Alex does it like its nothing. people like Alex really push the limits of what a human can do and as a species that what we are suppose to do really test what we can do.
