"Some of the motivations for taking risks are obvious - financial reward, fame, political gain, saving lives. Many people willingly expose themselves to varying degrees of risk in their pursuit of such goals. But as the danger increases, the number of people willing to go forward shrinks, until the only ones who remain are the extreme risk takers, those willing to endanger their reputation, fortune, and life. This is the mystery of risk: what makes some humans willing to jeopardize so much and continue to do so even en the face of dire consequences?"
Peter Gwin, writer and editor at National Geographic.
