It might sound silly or even shocking to some but the truth is there have been quite a few surveys and scientific studies that focus on why so many people seem to love dangerous activities for the thrill of it. One obvious answer is that some people are adrenaline junkies and this is the main reason so many extreme sports have risen in prominence in the past few decades. Another possible explanation is the freedom such activities give to an individual to act wildly and blow off steam. This appears to be one of the main reasons why so many millions of people around the world flock to amusement parks every year.
