Siegbert A. Warwitz is a professor at Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences with a research focus on sports psychology and road safety education, particularly on the relationship between risk-taking and risk. In an interview in Ride issue N°79 (June 2022), he explains why people take risks in the pursuit of safety. It sounds paradoxical, but it's not. Because a mastered risk leads to more sovereignty and therefore more safety.

Warwitz also explains the difference between daring sports and risky sports. Daring people approach their projects responsibly and learn a lot in the process in order to master them. For this reason, they have the potential to move the world forward, for example as researchers or entrepreneurs.

The interview was originally first published in the business magazine Brand Eins:
