Why do we do it? The Psychology of Risk

What is it that draws us into adventure activities? Why does the thrill of whitewater or climbing attract some and repel (not rappell) others? Mountain climbing is among America's fastest growing sports and sports like paragliding and BASE jumping are moving from the fringes into the mainstream. An in depth article in Psychology Today magazine explores the role of risk as a personality trait and traces some of the new neurobiology research that "indicate that the inclination to take high risks may be hard-wired into the brain, intimately linked to arousal and pleasure mechanisms, and may offer such a thrill that it functions like an addiction."

This research leads to new ways of thinking about your clients: Why are they coming and how does risk-taking factor in to your program model? Does the neurobiology of risk increase the possibility of accidents? Read on... and discover how you should be thinking about risk taking and your clients.
