I’m noticing the comments of this video: A motorbike driver speeds at (apparently) over 200 km per hour in a 100km/h zone bobbing and weaving between cars… and “dangerously” so.

But he didn’t hit anything or anyone. No one got hurt.

By definition then doesn’t this performance technically rate as “not dangerous at all” by virtue of his flawless performance and luck? Or is the performance still regarded as dangerous because the driver had a low level of certainty about the outcome while he was performing it?

What if it wasn’t quite so extreme? What if a dude were simply driving without a seatbelt in a car on the highway for 20 minutes one day on a road he knows is usually quiet and without traffic?

Is it still “dangerous” behaviour?

This is a question of hindsight. And in advance, I consider it a bit petty but I’m trying to wrap my brain around risk so help me out.
