Hashem wants us to value the life that he has given us. Hashem does not want us to give up responsibility for our lives, health, growth etc. The Torah warns us not to test Hashem by putting ourselves in a dangerous situation. A person who is killed from putting themselves into a place of danger is considered worse then a murderer. Why is this? Because we do not own our own lives, they belong to Hashem.
The closer your access is to anything, the more your responsibility. If you visit your neighbor and find them sick from leaking gas, you have to save them. You do not have to walk from apartment to apartment looking for leaking gas. This illustrates the idea that since you have the most ability to save your own life, you have the most responsibility to save your own life.
