What about the kind of person who cuts themself (which is far more common than the examples you have given while still being something with the potential to cause permanent injury or death)

Cutting and other forms of self-injury are usually a response to depression or repressed, negative emotions like anger or alienation.  While they provide temporary release for the victim, they do not contribute to long-term mental happiness, especially once it becomes a compulsive/addictive behavior.  It doesn't seem to be the sort of behavior that would contribute "happy thoughts" as they're modeled in DF, and it doesn't really fit the mold most people think of for hyper-tough dwarves.

And at any rate, it's vastly off-topic in a thread on putting leather whips in the game.
