Living that much longer through disease and natural degeneration elimination with the possibility of still dying from trauma might be quite horrible. Aversion to risk would logically skyrocket. Would skiing or even driving make sense?

You'd make the same argument if your life expectancy was 40 years and people proposed medicine could let you live to 80.

You'd also make the same argument if your life expectancy was 200 years and medicine advancements could let you live to 300.

I suspect almost no human beings actually carry out such a rational calculation of risk.
