fear of death

Ultra-Orthodox Jews more likely to jaywalk:

Rosenbloom thinks that ultra-Orthodox faith might contribute to this cavalier behaviour by making people respect religious law more than state-imposed rules. It is also possible that religious people take more risks because they are more fatalistic and have less fear of death.

I remember a bus driver when I was raft guiding who made us all nervous, 'cause his main concern was that if he careened off a cliff with a bunch of people on board some of 'em might not yet be saved.
