The article defines the essence of risk, which means actions or inactivity of a person or a
social group in the context of uncertainty and awareness of potential danger, as well as
the fact that success will lead to probable benefit and failure will lead to probable harm.
We specify and describe the following types of risk: justified and unjustified (adventur-
ism), active and passive, selfless and selfish, big and small, real and imaginary, autorisk
and heterorisk. We explain the concept of the "risk threshold", that is, a limit to the prob-
able danger leading to renouncing risky activities. We reveal the relationships between
the concepts of “risk”, “danger”, and “reliability”. We show that risk is an inevitable
and progressive part of the process of mastering new objects and types of activity.
Keywords: risk, types of risk, risk threshold, risk level, inevitability of risk, danger, relia-
bility
