Well, I wouldn’t consider something embarrassing something bad. I had more in mind something like getting in a train wreck or a victim of crime. Those are some pretty bad things that would certainly be worse than nothing.

That’s the extreme, sure. But everyone has a different amount of risk that they’re willing to take in order to break up the boredom. For some, the line is putting yourself out there and risking embarrassment, for some it’s motorcycling, for some it’s alcohol/other drugs, for some it’s wing suits. But some amount of something bad happening is usually worth it if the alternative is nothing at all happening.
