daredevil

A daredevil is someone who does extremely brave or reckless things, often putting themselves in harm's way.

The word "daredevil" is commonly used to describe people who participate in extreme sports like skydiving, stunt driving, or rock climbing. You might hear about a daredevil who jumped off a skyscraper or performed a death-defying trick on TV. Sometimes it's used to describe someone who takes risks in their daily life, not just as an athlete or performer. For example, you could call a firefighter a daredevil because they put themselves in harm's way to save others.
