I Like This Riddle

I put myself in danger,
And then I flee.
All the while you laugh at me.
If not for me, others may die,
Yet when you see me, I often cry.
I jump and run and roll and play,
But keeping them safe just makes my day.
What am I?

Happy New Year RIddle

Round I start, yet no shape have I.
Allow me to breathe, and my life will die.
The older I grow, the more sought after I become.
You will feel much better when I am done.

What am I?
