People go to all different kinds of extremes to find some sort of adreniline rush to get you through the day. Some people read a book or go to the gym, while others need something way more adventerous. The video above shows these people flipping off buildings, jumping throw windows, etc. These thrill seekers do this just for fun, but it is also life threatening at the same time. I feel as though it depends on your personality trait. Since extroverts are more outgoing and seek out new oppurtunities all the time, I think these are the type of people you see in the video. Introverts, on the other hand, are more shy and keep to themselves. I think of myself as more of an introvert. Never in a million years would you find me flipping from building to building. Thoughts have crossed my mind about jumping out of a plane. I think it would be something fun and thrilling, but then again I have been talking about this for years now. I am much too scared to do it, although the thought of it is enticing. Maybe if I was an extrovert, I wouldn't have waited years, I would have just gone for it, but for now, I will keep talking about how cool it would be, rather than talk about how cool it actually is.
I don't think that it can be put as simply as 'extroverts are more likely to do this and introverts aren't' because as an introvert I have done or am willing to do alot of thing to get my blood pumping. Those two traits may play a role but I believe it also has to do with how comfortable one is with his/her fears and the willingness to break through them.
