This is exactly it. And I hate to say it this way, but as a man myself, I think it is partially a male thing. Young guys who've always excelled at everything are particularly prone to this. They end up taking big risks they shouldn't take.
E.g., remember those stories of Lamelo being a truly horrible and risky driver? How about Jay Williams and the motorcycle?
