I respect such people when the uncertain outcome is worthwhile. I'm not so keen on people who risk greatly for an ego trip of some kind, because they disrespect their own life and that of others.

"Into Thin Air" comes to mind, where the guy called his wife from Everest: "Sorry honey, I don't think I'm going to make it home." And then he left his wife and little daughter to serve as an icicle, until others risked their lives to haul him out.
