Not wearing helmets has always been the norm for skateboarders… a shame too because even the well experienced are susceptible to the occasional concussion. All it takes is one bad landing and your skateboarding days are over. Wear a helmet people, set a good example for the younger generations.

Gear Acquisition Syndrome is most common problem in most of the hobbies I have had. Folks need to calm down and work with what they have before diving further down the rabbit hole.
Regarding your driving under the influence thing, I am amazed I didn't die or kill someone when driving all over the USA while on LSD after Grateful Dead shows back in the 80's and 90's.

Dangerous and illegal stuff, like:
- Not wearing a helmet
- Using the bike lane to pass cars
- Trying to show off on public roads
- Going way over the speed limit and speed of traffic
- Rev bombing when someone cuts you off
Let's see if you can guess the hobby
Unicycling?
I'm assuming when you say "rev bombing" you mean "[eating a bunch of beans and cutting the loudest farts you can] when someone cuts you off"

They then get rather angry at those that have and adjusted their outlook.

Even with all that its a dangerous activity but you can extend your ability to do it by protecting yourself
