"When engaged in dangerous careers, most people know what the risks are."

You just don't get it, but that's probably because you have your head so firmly up your own backside. But I guess that's your lot in life. Knowing the risk means knowing you could die from this activity and hoping (calculating?) that you'll be skillful and lucky and survive anyway. Knowing the risk doesn't mean you stop that activity.
