as a means of competition between friends as some of them even make bets with themselves to see who is faster or can do some things. Some even use if as a means to build their strength for those that are not satisfied with the local gyms.  
However
, some people do these activities because they feel that activities like scuba diving, wing suit gliding, cliff jumping are expensive so those are the hobbies that fits them the most. But most of them don'

realise they are being stupid because they don'

consider the consequences of their actions.    In conclusion, I think people doing activities that will require them to sign some documents because they don'
t
know if they will make it back alive or what the outcome will be is very stupid and those people have no regard for their lives.
