A point I was wondering how to make. I'm not saying that any of these people we're talking about here were consciously reckless, but when you consider what they did in their normal lives we 'normal' people would consider as reckless. They had a totally different 'risk threshold' and greater confidence in their own abilities to overcome whatever problems may arise. A lot of the time this served them well, but unfortunately a few were caught out...
