Yeah, I don't get it. You don't want the penalty to deter people from doing stuff, but you want to make sure it's there just to annoy them?
Either one or the other, there is no middle ground. Make the penalty harsh so doing extreme things is rare, risky and very rewarding.. or have virtually no penalty at all so more people get to do extreme things (ideally everything rewarding would be extreme) and maybe have fun in the process.
I don't see the middle ground possible there.
