“…Accidents and Close Calls were assessed with the German version of the Accidents and Close Calls in Sports Inventory (G-ACCSI [ 32 ]). Close Calls were defined as “incidents that come very close to resulting in a negative outcome but that fail to materialize in a negative outcome” ([ 33 ], p. 480).…”

“…Close Calls were defined as “incidents that come very close to resulting in a negative outcome but that fail to materialize in a negative outcome” ([ 33 ], p. 480). The G-ACCSI is identical to the original ACCSI [ 9 ] in terms of factor structure and number of items [ 32 ]. The ACCSI was especially developed to provide an instrument which is not limited to the recall of accidents resulting in injuries but can further provide phenomenological data [ 9 ].…”

“…Risk-taking behavior was assessed using the German version of the Risk-Taking Inventory (G-RTI [ 32 ]). The G-RTI consists of three items measuring deliberate risk-taking (e.g., “I actively seek out dangerous situations”) and four items assessing precautionary behavior (e.g., “I take time to check for potential hazards”).…”

Understanding factors associated with risk-taking behavior, accidents and close calls could enhance prevention strategies and thus contribute to preventing serious injury or death in the long term. The following study aims to assess these factors in junior freeride athletes in comparison with competitive alpine skiers of similar age and adult freeriders. A cross-sectional questionnaire design was used to assess risk-related variables and potential associated factors. Accident and close call involvement did not significantly differ between the groups (p > 0.080). No significant relationships between gender and risk-related variables were found (|r| < 0.26). Precautionary behavior was higher in freeride adults and freeride juniors compared to alpine skiers (p < 0.001) and deliberate risk-taking was lower in freeride adults compared to junior freeriders and alpine skiers (p < 0.001). Regression analyses revealed that the association between self-objectification and accidents was stronger in freeride juniors compared to alpine skiers of similar age and freeride adults (p < 0.049). Although accidents and close calls were similar between groups, age seems to be an associated variable to deliberate risk-taking and precautionary behavior. The relationship between accidents and self-objectification in freeride juniors implicates a need for risk education in freeriders in the sensitive phase of adolescence beyond the mere presentation of environmental dangers.

“…The minimum score is 13 and maximum score is 91, with values between 65 and 73 representing moderate resilience, values below low resilience, and values above high resilience [ 27 ]. To assess the willingness to take risks as well as sensation-seeking during mountaineering, we used the German version of the Sensation-Seeking/Emotion Regulation/Agency Scale (G-SEAS) and the Risk-Taking Inventory (G-RTI) [ 28 , 29 ]. The G-SEAS measures the need for sensation, difficulty with emotion regulation, and lack of agency.…”

“…The G-SEAS measures the need for sensation, difficulty with emotion regulation, and lack of agency. This is based on a study showing that participants in high-risk activities have difficulty with a reduced sense of agency in aspects of their life and emotion regulation, yet improving these qualities through high-risk sport activities [ 29 ]. The RTI measures deliberate risk-taking and precautionary behaviours in high-risk sports [ 28 ].…”

Common knowledge implies that individuals engaging in outdoor sports and especially in regular and extreme mountaineering are exceptionally healthy and hardened. Physical activity in outdoor environments has a positive effect on physical and mental health. However, regular and/or extreme mountaineering might share similarities with behavioural addictions and could thus also have a negative impact on health. In this cross-sectional web-based questionnaire study, we collected data on exercise and mountaineering addiction (Exercise Addiction Inventory; original and adapted version for mountaineering; Exercise Dependence Scale adapted version for mountaineering). Further surveyed parameters included mountaineering habits, Risk-Taking Inventory, Sensation-Seeking/Emotion Regulation/Agency Scale (SEAS), resilience, self-perceived stress, physical activity in metabolic units and mental health. Comparisons were performed between individuals with symptoms of addiction to mountaineering (MA) and individuals without symptoms of addiction to mountaineering or sports in general (CO) using non-parametric analyses. We analysed data from 335 participants, n = 88 thereof with addiction to mountaineering (MA) and n = 247 control participants (CO). The MA group scored significantly higher with regards to self-perceived stress (p < 0.001) and included a significantly higher number of individuals affected by symptoms of depression (p < 0.001), symptoms of anxiety (p < 0.001), symptoms of eating disorders (p < 0.001), alcohol abuse or dependence (p < 0.001), illicit drug abuse (p = 0.050), or current and history of psychiatric disorders (p < 0.001). Individuals with MA showed higher values in all SEAS subscales as well as increased risk-taking (p < 0.001). Regular and extreme mountaineering can display features of a behavioural addiction and is associated with psychiatric disorders. Behavioural addiction in mountaineering is associated with higher levels of sensation-seeking, emotion regulation, and agency, as well as increased risk-taking.
