There seems to be a whole bunch of people out there who think that the best way to live life is to get as close to death as possible. Maybe he has a boring job.
Taking risks is an addiction, and I imagine there are some who do not survive the experience. Mr. Corliss seems to be an amiable fellow, although I would not like to learn he is a married man with children.
Perhaps when he reaches that level in life these temptations will cease. I can't imagine wishing to be his insurance agent :-/
