Basketball Player Dies After Game Winning Shot

And this opens, what IMO is a very good question. Without going to extremes, should we go through life watching every little thing we eat, not drinking, not smoking, not doing anything that most would refer to as taking a risk etc, all with the hopes of tacking extra years onto our lives and bypassing certain illness and disease?

Or do we say fuck it, something is going to eventually kill me, im going to live life to the fullest and do whatever makes me happiest?

I am the type to lean towards the latter of the two.
