Its the adrenalin rush and also knowing you have defied death. For some people it simply makes them feel more alive. For some its a way of facing their fears.

But this increase in level of stimuli may be considered as excessive to other humans, thus we label such people as "thrill seekers", "adrenalin junkies" etc.

It was the awareness that life was to short.

Adrenalin. This hormone is addictive. The more you get used to it, the more the need becomes acute. So when one starts going for thrill, excess adrenalin secretion makes him/her to go for more...
