Why do humans wanna jump from high places?

852 views

Standing in a shopping mall looking down to the floors below and think to myself. “Jump” In no way do I want to kill myself but when I brought this up a lot of my friends had been through the same thing. Ive started to see memes about it online. So what’s up? [jump! ](https://d279m997dpfwgl.cloudfront.net/wp/2018/06/0629_reddit-void-main-1000×1425.jpg)

Many think that thrillseeking relates to an abnormality in the adrenaline reception in the brain. It’s theorized that people that love to skydive and base jump aren’t able to process adrenaline and serotonin at the same levels as normal people can, so in order to feel that satisfaction they need to tone up the amount of adrenaline and serotonin that they take in. This can be done by doing really stupid stunts. This is unconfirmed, but I have seen some written interviews with older thrillseekers in which they describe normal things like riding fast on a motorcycle doesn’t make them feel anything, while jumping multiple cars on a bike would produce the same reaction in someone else riding really fast.
