Whites in general used to do much more dangerous things in the past. There is a Wild West side to Americans which took things to the extreme. Whites did incredibly dangerous things. Here is film footage from 1923. This was a real American act, popularized by Doc Carver, and it ran for decades mostly at Atlantic City with dives from platforms up to 60 feet into pools only around 10 to 12 feet deep. At least one horse and one rider were killed performing the stunt, and about two human injuries per year were recorded during the show's 50-year run. This was more dangerous for the riders than the horses. Riders were blinded and had their noses broken. In this film footage a 19 year old White girl is doing this insanely dangerous stunt. It took extreme courage and skill to do this.
