impulsive or impetuous seem to fit.
"If you describe someone as impulsive, you mean that they do things suddenly without thinking about them carefully first, characterized by actions based on sudden desires, whims, or inclinations rather than careful thought: An impulsive man, an impulsive kiss.
(Collins)
- He is too impulsive to be a responsible prime minister.
- Avoid making an impulsive decision.
If you describe someone as impetuous, you mean that they are likely to act quickly and suddenly without thinking or being careful. (Collins)
- He was young and impetuous.
- He tended to react in a heated and impetuous way.
If you are looking for an adverb, then "impulsively" and "impetuously"
