When it is good

Lindsey Vonn’s horrific crash stems from a fearlessness that makes her unique
What is the psychology that allows Vonn to keep crashing so hard and getting back up?
It's not psychology, it's physiology.  It's a psychoactive immune response.  Every time she gets hurt- she gets a dopamine reward from her brainstem.   More injury=More immune response.  Surgery and rehab will do the same thing.

It's all fun and games now, but at this rate it will surely kill her.

Update- yeah Tiger Woods seems like the perfect companion.   No impulse control problems there...
