Pick one type of unhealthy risk-taking behavior and describe how that behavior might contribute to specific injuries.

Answered by maham237 @



so a healthy risk would be something like, trying a new food, playing a new sport, trying to land a big job. basically it is something with a minimal potential for serious harm, and that can be rewarding in it's own way. (ex: you try sushi and like it! ) an unhealthy risk, doing drugs, drinking and driving, sky diving without an instructor, is something with a potential for great risk of bodily or mental harm and little regard for consequence and seldom a rewarding experience. (ex: you throw rocks at cars, and end up in trouble)
