There are quite a lot of initiation rituals that involve danger and ordeal. The Sioux Sun Dance of North America is one example. Many African tribes have, even relatively recently, required boys to undergo rigorous and dangerous warrior training.
It probably is more common in the USA than in most advanced industrial societies. I suspect this has something to do with our republic having been founded largely by Freemasons. I'm given to understand that those people have 33 distinct hazing rituals.
