Bovineowner's reply of his nature is most similar to how I would have replied, so that's my shortcut to not making a longer post. The differences are I'm sure he has many skills I don't have (would love to learn) and I'll have some different skills.
As for as risk goes, I take unnecessary risks for no good reason. I even ski off cliffs.
As for thin ice, there is one way to see if it will support my weight and I'm fine with that. I'll get out just fine and it won't be a major event for me because I'll still have fun fishing as I have got wet and fished wet having so much fun that it didn't bother me enough to even change clothes which were right there in my tent. After a few hours of fishing, the wet clothes were mostly dry by then anyway.
My risk tolerance is mitigated by not being fragile. I take hard falls, hits and extremes and am blessed with an extremely high resistance to getting bruises and injuries and seem to heal overnight for most things.
I also do a lot on the preparedness side of safety for when things do go wrong. I often have rescue equipment and extras of warm clothing and food, but more so for being prepared to help others and just because I'm very into preparedness.
If something goes so wrong that I need help, I carry SPOT and a friend can see exactly where I've been, my route, and exactly where I am within a few feet on his computer or cell phone. In that respect, I'm not really alone.
