daredevilish
Recklessly seeking thrills
Daredevilish describes behavior or qualities reminiscent of a daredevil—recklessly bold, thrill-seeking, courting danger for its own sake.
The word carries a playful edge, suggesting admiration mixed with concern: His daredevilish stunts on the motorcycle terrified his mother.
Less common than daredevil used as an adjective, but serves when you want to emphasize the quality rather than label the person.
