Heres why.
Knowing your death date changes the definition of risk... at least for the person who knows.
The same risks arent there because you know your not going to die from them, therefore you could assume more risk/danger compaired to others and continue to remain safe.
If you didnt know when you were going to die, you couldn't assume this danger/risk with certainty.
I always wondered that if one skydives because they enjoy the risk why go to the hassle of inspecting the chute prior to jumping.
Kind of remindes me of the time travel scenarios.
