Courage is an admirable quality which consists in facing fear and acting in spite of it, for some higher purpose. Acting in spite of fear for no purpose is foolishness.
Sometimes acting in spite of fear is deadly. Sometimes acting in spite of fear makes one stronger. Not knowing for sure what the result will be is what makes the act courageous.

How you live is more important than how you will die.
The most vulnerable experience a human being can know is falling. Leaping from a cliff is an act of intentional vulnerability, usually intended to demonstrate the invulnerability of the jumper. It may result in demonstrating invulnerability or foolishness.
If it puts someone else at risk, rather than yourself, it is not courage.
