Answer

I think "foolhardy " fits your description.

Answer

I agree with the word "foolhardy."

The only idiom that is kind of close is "fools rush in where angels fear to tread."  (Sometimes shortened to "fools rush in")  It is something you might say about someone who acts in a potentially dangerous way without thinking about the consequences first.

Answer

Nice one, Andreas, that is the closest I can think of. Reckless isn’t as close but might work for you. I can’t think of any idioms that match. Brains versus brawn is a little related.
