- Seeks thrills/ fun
- involves risk (although everything in life is risky)
- has a life-changing outcome (positive or negative)
- answers questions (why would anyone skydive?)
- is unknown (it's not as fun/exciting if you know exactly what to do)
Oh, I know, I can learn to drive a race car. Sure, we've all experienced what it's like to speed in our cars, but imagine driving as fast as you want without the possibility of a speeding ticket. Most of the thrill would involve the speed itself and the possibility of wrecking the car. I would be mostly interested in seeing how fast I would dare to go before I start doubting my driving skills. Maybe I'll come close to wrecking the car, and learn that there's a reason for speed limits (I usually disregard them). I might just learn how to control a car at high speeds.
