I think you have a point that RISK=ADVENTURE, but keep in mind that it's entirely relative and varies greatly from person to person. Going 100 meters down the beach and enjoying a cup of coffee might be enough for some people. Others may need to free climb Half Dome. I recall the greatest "adventure" I ever endured was a two day Hummer drive through the desert with a knot in my stomach from worrying about driving over a mine. The guy sitting next to me did nothing but complain about how boring it was. That bored PFC who was sitting next to me is now probably a master sergeant driving through pretty much the same desert, in the same conditions, still bored. My adventure/risk threshold tends to be fairly low now. I only need to get a half dozen miles down a NFS fire road to get my fill. I can (and have) done that in a 94 Honda Civic. It's all relative.
