IMAX film Adrenaline Rush: The Science of Risk, which notes, by the way humans are the only animals who seek the danger and risk their lives for fun (some interesting food for thought there)-look at this happens inside the human body during pumping of adrenaline. Sometimes some impressive skydiving and BASE jumping sequences.
of course. The idea that I found most interesting is that people who pursue and enjoy the kind of high-wire act funny seems to have significantly lower levels of an enzyme called monoamine oxidase B (MAO B) compared to the rest population. As a result, they have better resistance to the excitement of parts of the brain, which means it requires a greater amount of stimulation (see: BASE jump off a cliff or skyscraper) to achieve the same level of excitement and other fun activities out less extreme.
