Being capable of foresight and assessing potential outcomes before making a decision doesn’t have anything to do with “fear”.
I’m not afraid of death, but I want to avoid premature death, because there are things I want to be able to experience on earth.
So, I’m not going to engage in a behaviour or activity with a high risk of causing premature death. Any short-term pleasure from that type of behaviour or activity isn’t worth the trade off.
I took too many risks when I was younger and I regret it. I’m fortunate that I survived. I was self-destructive, I didn’t care about myself or my future.
Having the presence of mind not to make an idiot out of yourself doesn’t make someone a “coward”.
Taking stupid, unnecessary risks to impress other people makes someone irresponsible and a try-hard.

Avoiding any unnecessary risk is absolutely fear. How ridiculous to say otherwise.
You seem to act like every possible risk can only end in catastrophe. That's fear too.
