Why do teenagers take so many risks

MR pointed to this NYT article Why do teenagers take so many risks and a comment was that perhaps it's the adults that are not taking enough risk.
1. What is the optimal amount of risk?
2. Too many with respect to what?
3. Risk taking behavior varies by age profile. Should it?

I'm partial to some comments that point to evolutionary arguments but not completely convinced.
