Lots of people live their lives trying to avoid risk. The word ‘risk’ itself sounds negative. It implies the fact that something bad could happen. Not everyone avoids risk though. In fact, some people go out and look for risk around every corner. These are the types of people who go skydiving or bungee jumping on the weekends. For them, life is just plain boring if there isn’t some sort of risk involved. A common term for people like this is adrenaline junkies.
