This is what happens when you try to kiss a shark

Look, these guys arn't 7 yr old kids. they are grown adults. Grown and
mature are two different things. I'm sure the guy is mature enough to
know the dangers and risks of doing what he did. I too,wouldn't
necessarily call him an "idiot" by your dictionary deffinition, but I
really don't think these guys have much common sense.
Like a guy that is buffing something at a wire wheel. he could be
warned of the dangers of not wearing safey goggles, but continues to
buff away. His philosophy might be that no wire or hot sparks have ever
hit him in the eye(yet) so why wear them?
I know of several people who are brilliantly wealthy, but bankrupt when
it comes to common sense.
Don't take any chances in your life, then. Sit in your house all day,
don't go on a boat (by golly, them things are dangerous), cover
yourself with bubble wrap, in case you get up to walk around and
accidently get bruised on something. Remember, if you do dare step
outside, take a snakebite kit, a coat in case it gets cold, water and
food in case you get lost, etc.
