thrillseeker
Loves dangerous activities
A thrillseeker is someone who pursues excitement through risky or intense activities—skydiving, bungee jumping, extreme sports.
The term carries mild judgment, suggesting recklessness or addiction to adrenaline: He's always been a thrillseeker, never happy unless he's in danger.
