It’s all fun and games until people get killed.
No one gets killed, you just engage in cute banter with Helen Hunt with cows and tractor parts flying all around you, and everything works out fine in the end.
People do it for the thrill of knowing it might be deadly. Like skydiving, car racing, rock climbing, etc. My thrill is solo hiking in wintertime. If I slip and break my leg in zero weather while ten miles from the trailhead, things get dicey real quick.
