@Earthbound_Misfit I’m not sure what you mean by ‘no hold’?
That the fear that the risk associated with the activity could lead to death. In short, you would not be afraid to die doing the activity. Not that you would not take reasonable measures to survive the activity but the threat that death might be an outcome doesn’t scare people off doing it.
@gondwanalon Even if I couldn’t die I would avoid them.
If you could not die, that would leave only living as a cripple (if that is PC), but if you did not survive it, then you would not have to worry about living many decades more in a diminished state.
@kritiper While death has no hold on me, whatever that means exactly, pain is still very relevant!
You can get pain from things that are not fatal, like skiing, dirt biking, skating, etc. I am speaking if death not being a hindrance to you because you are not afraid of dying as part of the activity. So if you were racing powerboats and an accident during a race could kill you, you would not dwell on it as a reason not to race but just as an ”oh well”.
