Bruce,
That is the link http://petrowskiy.ru/eng/articles.html (open the second article) to site of the person contributed a lot in research of different aspects of risk taking (in partucular non-pragmatic risk (he called it extra-situational activity).
Another interesting point is related to the concept of non-triviality which seems to me is fruitful when applied to risk assessment as well.
