They took the risk of there aircraft seriously injured but apparently they didn't get hurt
People have wanted to fly since the dawn of man. Surely even neanderthal man watched birds flying and wished he could do the same. The Wright brothers had an intense interest in flying things since boyhood when their father gave them a flying toy. In addition to the obvious prestige in making such a historic first, the wright brothers must also have been motivated by the commercial possibilities of powered flight. Indeed, the Wright brothers built a very successful business on their innovations, and history has shown that powered flight has in fact become an enormously important part of our modern economy.

Yes. The Wright brothers weren't the only ones trying to develop an airplane, and they were far from the first to create a flying machine--George Cayley, a Briton, made a glider with "flappers" for power in the early 1800s. I think if the Wrights wouldn't have worked on airplanes, someone else would have figured out you can put a gasoline engine on a glider and have an airplane that can take off and land under its own power.
