A gift for those who are living dangerously

We live in an age of extreme safety consciousness. Every aspect of our live, at home, at work and in between, is covered by rules designed to eliminate the risk of accidents and injury.

A further result of this development is that there is now a large safety industry with a vested interest in society continuing to perceive all risks as bad things which must be eliminated at all costs, with the cost not necessarily bearing any relation to the magnitude of the risk. There are large profits to be made from supplying new products to replace those that have been declared unsafe.

The interesting thing, however, is that as this industry has grown, removing all sorts of risks from people’s lives and adding substantial overheads to many industrial and everyday activities, so a parallel industry has developed which allows people to buy back those risks.

It was not always so. In the 19th century, when everyday life was full of danger, hardly anybody ever paid money in order to bring extra danger into their lives. The exception was the rich, who spent money on hunting, expensive adventures such as exploration and ballooning.

Today, however, nearly everyone – possibly with preponderance of men – spends money on buying back risks. We buy fast cars, and use them to exceed speed limits as a matter of course. We go on adventure holidays. We participate in increasing numbers in dangerous modern sports.

Did we notice that the bigger expenditure on industrial and institutional safety we have the more risky life we prefer?

Among academics, the phenomenon is known as “risk compensation”. The simplest conclusion is that people never allow anti-risk measures to work. You can introduce laws requiring all cars to have better brakes, but the average driver will see such brakes as justification for driving faster. Each potential safety benefit, in other words, will simply be consumed as a performance benefit.

As we can see from the above, any men would like to live dangerously, so the best present for him would be a Panerai replica watch.
