It's important to listen to your instincts and not push yourself too far out of your comfort zone, especially when it comes to activities that can be physically dangerous.
This is why I find it difficult to access what the balance is. Almost every sport / activity has an added risk. How much should I be taking and where to draw the line has always bothered me.
