The real question is how do you survive at the same time you pose those risks? Because you need to survive. And it seems to me that you survive in community or in solidarity, with others who are taking the risk with you.
So there might be a kind of collective effort that allows for those risks to be taken, pose a certain danger but not a suicidal one.
