Insane is an adjective that describes something as extreme, shocking, unreasonable, or impressively good. While historical and legal contexts used the word to describe severe mental illness, casual modern speakers use it to express an intense reaction to an unusual event or extraordinary action. The word itself signals high intensity, but it does not specify whether that intensity is positive or negative.

The steep mountain descent was insane, but every cyclist reached the valley safely.
