Even other animals have been shown to take risks for social reasons; the underlying theory being that by taking risks that a less able animal would have to avoid they demonstrate the superiority of their genes and become more attractive as a mate. Interestingly some studies have found this phenomenon in humans too, with people who engage in high risk sports (e.g. parachuting) seen to be more sexually attractive.
