I don't see the difference so often. I don't see people who tight-walk at fatal heights without safety harness able to suddenly do that in a time of crisis. The vikings were as stupid as they were brave, challenging and brawling and drinking. So were the knights of the middle ages who were almost as likely to get their limbs severed off in a tournament as they were in a battle.
Stupidity and bravery often go hand-in-hand. Most have to train to overcome danger. And the training grounds are stupid and pointless from a Spock-like mind. But that Spock-like mind runs away when danger draws close. The ones who trained -- they stay -- they jump into the flames, the dangerous waters, because they're either brave *or* stupid.
And that *or* part will likely always be there, because ordinary people don't generally carry out the romance of bravery under fire. It's the jackass ones who do it. It's the Maverick types of Top Gun who it. They've trained for it, and possibly under very stupid circumstances. Everyone can poke fun at a team of fireman who train in stupid ways... until they save their lives. Then it's not so funny anymore. You look at the bravest cultures, like that of the Normans, and their ancestor Vikings, the Spartans, the gladiators of Rome... and they are as brave as they are stupid. They are trained for danger, and you usually can't train for danger without "pointless" simulations. But the people who don't see the point -- they will not be prepared when real danger strikes.

Here it is as follows.
1. Bravery means thinking, analyzing before doing anything that requires one to be brave whereas stupidity is doing something without giving it a proper thought
2. Bravery means taking calculated risks after knowing the possible consequences whereas stupidity means being reckless while taking risks without knowing the possible consequences
3. Bravery means doing something for the right reason and stupidity doing for all the wrong reasons or petty reasons or mainly to just satisfy their own ego.
Bravery involves acknowledging risk, weighing pros and cons, and going ahead despite fear.
Stupidity is feeling no fear at all, or being convinced that ignorance is right.
Someone is brave to dive in in an attempt to save a drowning child. Someone who cannot swim who dives in to save someone drowning, is stupid. Both will die.

Probably necessity. People take all sorts of extreme risks. When they aren鈥檛 calculated risks and lack good judgment then it鈥檚 just stupid. When you鈥檝e calculated the risk and understand the danger, but it鈥檚 necessary to go forward regardless then you hit bravery.
Bravery is when you have the skills to do something and you take the risk to do something harder or more demanding that will improve your skills, while stupidity is when you have no skills but you take all the risks, without ever thinking that things could go south pretty fast.
Ahhh... i never thought of this but it instantly hit me... bravery is something u do for others that could be bad for ur health and stupidity is something we do for fun that is bad for ur health but awesome for showing off to girls or scaring someone i to getti. Wstnu want but always for that so worth it rush but why did i do that wen it goes wrong... worth it
bravery is if you do something dangerous as a calculated risk in an extreme or dilemma situation in order to save your life or to protect a higher good (live of a loved one or political goals or whatever).
stupidity is taking this kind of risk "just because" or for "thrills" or entertainment.An excellent question to me bravery is risking life and limb for a reason someone's life it's TIG whatever stupidity is risking that same life and limb to have fun

Stupidity is risking your life for no good reason.Taking completely unnecessary and extremely dangerous risks, especially for the sake of just showing off.
It's only a matter of perspective. The optimist will say a certain action is brave, whereas the pessimist will criticise the person doing as being stupid. The realist will do both depending on circumstances.
Bravery is having the courage to do something that you know is stupid. Stupidity is not realizing that what you're doing is stupid.
Bravery should come with a purpose. It is not particularly brave to endanger your life for no good reason.
Stupidity is doing something dangerous because you don't know of or you don't fear the danger.
Bravery is doing something dangerous overcoming your fear or regardless of your fear.Its brave if the failure is worth the risk otherwise it's stupid.
I think brave people know what their getting themselves into and take that risk anyways but I believe that brave people take risks for good reasons meanwhile foolish people don鈥檛
It would depend on the risk and the reward. If it is the right balance between risk and reward then it is bravery but if risk outweighs reward then it is beyond stupid. It really depends on the person.
The difference between bravery and stupidity is success.
Most of the time the only difference is whether you fail or succeed.
You could try a backflip on a four wheeler, succeed, and be seen as an awesome badass. Same stunt, but under-rotate, and you're just that dumbass that thought he could.bravery is doing something and being aware its dangerous, stupidity is doing something without knowing its dangerous
bravery can be stupidity at the same time, depending on the situation
