A guy literally jumped off the Eiffel Tower to test an early parachute, ignorant of what would happen if it failed. | ||

The fact he was testing a parachute would suggest he was well aware of the consequences. | ||

Perhaps it was more that risk taking and dying young from various illnesses was a thing that happened around you a lot, so you were more accustomed to it and didn't expect to live to 80. | ||

...ignorant of what would happen if it failed. Then why was he testing a parachute in the first place? I think he had a better idea than you give him credit for. | ||
