What makes you think that those blokes do not value their lives?...

Their age. The instinct for self-preservation kicks in around age 25
and, before that, the idea of personal death is a very abstract
concept for most.


Methinks you talketh ******** on that one.


It is fairly well documented


And is the reason the military uses them at that age.

and is a major reason why vehicle insurance premiums are significantly
higher for the under 25s. They simply don't have the same awareness of
danger.


That one is very arguable and it could just as easily be
inexperience that is the main reason for the higher claims.

And your 25 is pretty bogus too given how many over that
age are into the more stupid stuff like base jumping etc.
