Actually I wouldn't call them "reckless", because to be characterized like this, implies that they would be "aware" of the danger and choose to ignore it. But yes, I do believe they would be far more exposed to danger, a danger they don't know much about. Don't forget, most of these people are after fish. They often don't think about their dive profile, but are more focused on the fish and how to catch them. But some are reckless too (lots of people die each year because they freedive and spearfish alone, even knowing how dangerous it is). And this only makes things worst.
