Do people take life for granted?

Do people take life for granted?
This made me think of how everyday people put themselves in precarious situations. Everyday people are caught driving drunk or playing with fire. They increase their risks of getting hurt when they start being unhealthy or do other appalling things such as drugs or just by smoking. When one tells them how bad it will do to them and they choose to ignore us and just wants to live life the way they want to. Most of the time, people put themselves in danger and don't even realize it. For example, by simply trying out a new trick on a skateboard or bike, one can hurt themself and die. Many put themselves in so much hazardous situations and it makes me wonder, why do we even do such things? So, I truly believe that people take lkife for granted.
