daredevil:

(plural: ‘daredevils‘; pronunciation: ‘dare…devil’)

a person who is very brave but not properly careful;

a recklessly bold and irresponsible person who enjoys taking risks,

a daredevil crossing a gorge on tightrope

e.g.

Brendan is such a daredevil that he risks his life every time he shows a stunt.

A stuntman in movie industry is certainly a daredevil because he does feats, putting his life at risk, that excite us.

I always wonder how those daredevils walk on tightrope between two tall buildings, jump from an aeroplane without a parachute and ride a motor bike blindfolded!
