Neither is voluntary in my example, unless "never going outside in a populated place" is a reasonable option. Anyway, I'm not really saying daredevilism is, or isn't, ok, just that comments saying it's a terrible risk are usually somewhat irrational, or at least inconsistent.

Maybe I expressed myself incorrectly. I am not saying that daredevilism is not ok just because it is dangerous. You can go to any inhabited area and do what you want. The problem here is using public spaces to perform your stunts. You are effectively putting others at risk in an activity that they are not taking part in voluntarily.

Strongly agree.
