Though willing to take big risks isn't the same thing as deliberately takes worse risks than you have to. A species with Daredevil might simply be more rational about risk evaluation - they don't invest more in avoiding low probability risks than the probable cost. They probably will install safety gear where it doesn't actually matter much to the cost and functionality of the design. Backup air might not be on the priority features list, but if the final design has a bit of totally useless space somewhere, sticking a backup air bottle in it is a perfectly reasonable thing to do with it.
