Though that would be amusing...

Instead of "boredom" being the number one killer of Elves it's "living in cliff cities".

That's definitely my vision as well.

The entire race also has On The Edge, so I don't doubt that reckless behavior is a common killer, just not typically as a result of walking from the house to the corner store.

I thought it would be a kind of neat variant of the "elves are in tune with nature" theme to make them adrenaline junkies mimicking our snowboarder or rock climber culture instead of hippie environmentalists.

I do hope they also have Daredevil, which means they mess up unnecessarily risky situations less often than they do 'normal' situations.

I was about to say, the Cliff Elves are probably selectively breeding for it, as those are the ones most likely to come back with the tales.
