I'm assuming the immortality being discussed here doesn't include death from accidents or murder. So, while one may live forever and not have to fear age or disease, getting on a an airplane is still a risk, to an extent.
As it is, us humans are already somewhat risk averse and and we're interested in self preservation. Now, if we thought that we could actually live forever, would we become even more risk averse? Would we take even less chances than we do currently? Would the thought of getting in our cars and hazarding our chances on the freeway and ending our precious immortality be a crippling fear?
