Why are there not many daredevils in third-world countries?

This is something I realized when I was a kid living in the Philippines. I kept seeing foreigners mainly Americans doing thrill-seeking activities such as surfing, skydiving, climbing, and bull riding but not in my home country. Why is that?

I wonder why I’m not seeing any Filipinos or any other third-world countries doing such adrenaline-pumping activities. Based on my observations, I see two main reasons why.

First, third-world problems.

Third-world problems such as pointless civil wars, poverty, hunger, and government corruption. People living in third-world countries are too busy surviving with that never-ending problems.

Second, price and environment.

Price

Daredevil activities cost a lot of money. As of 2021, the only skydiving experience available in the Philippines is in Cebu that costs around 19,000 pesos or 380–390 US dollars for each person.

Filipino’s aren’t cheap but most of them don’t have that kind of money to spend on some lavishly dangerous activity that could only last for a couple of minutes. Filipinos are known to be generous, they would rather spend their time and that 19,000 peso budget on overnight swimming with family and friends.

Environment

Underdeveloped nations like the Philippines don’t have many crazy waves, bulls to ride with, big rocky mountains to climb upon, or have some skyscrapers to do some crazy jumps making those daring activities to be unpopular for their unavailability.

People living in the first or second-world countries have an easier life, so, to experience the hardship they never dealt with, they compensate by doing dangerous activities. On the opposite side of the spectrum, people living in third-world countries already have a difficult life and all they think about is making it easier.
