What's the most dangerous thing you've ever done?

I saw this video yesterday:

Essentially, this guy stops in the middle of nowhere to feed wild BEARS and he GETS. OUT. OF. THE. CAR! :eek3: He had his family with him too… :erm:

This got me curious though… what's the most dangerous thing you've ever done? Did it work out well or go horribly wrong? :beard:

I left Veet hair removal cream on for longer than 10 minutes, despite the bottle saying you shouldn't do that, in capital letters no less. And I survived. :proud:

:eek3: this trumps feeding wild bears for sure. Were there any side effects? :holmes:

Well, I've been in a mine that probably wasn't particularly safe (...and probably increased my chance of lung cancer by several orders of magnitude) and have had some uncomfortably close encounters with some rocks. Still alive though!

A mine? What sort of mine was it? It must have meant a lot to you to put yourself at so much risk! :zomg:

You deviant, you. :colonhash:
That awkward moment when you sit for 5 minutes thinking for an answer then realise that you're too much of a wimp to do anything dangerous :colondollar:
I don't think I've done anything particularly dangerous, however on an A Level Geology trip we had to climb up a near-vertical cliff with no safety gear, which was a bit nerve-wracking because there was nothing to stop us falling backwards! :s-smilie:
Touched a candle flame.
Some might call me a pioneer.

Haha I don't want to exaggerate too much, I had to sign a personal liability form but it's not as if I put myself in great mortal peril. It was really cool though, definitely worth it, and gave me a lot more respect for Cornish miners during the Industrial Revolution who had to work in those conditions!

That sounds terrifying :afraid: how high was the cliff? I bet that was exhausting too.. :console:

downing the good part of a bottle of rum
wasn't pretty
My family and I drove up Vesuvius
But personally, walking very close to the edge of the cliffs at Beachy head was probably the most dangerous
That or when I went swimming in the sea in France and was literally surrounded by jelly fish :frown:

Taking a ****

everytime i'm unsure whether my butt will survive the onslaught of brown mess coming out, safe to say i'm still alive and so is my butt currently but it's a wonder it's even held out that long....


Good lord. I hope your… bowel movements continue to be non life threatening.. :lolwut:

Badass right here. Onion is now quivering with fear, she's definitely not sending you a Christmas card. :unimpressed:

I went down a steep slide head first even though it said that you strictly had to go feet first, that was a wild moment lol

:rofl: that sounds really rough. Were you hanging the next day or are you one of the lucky ones that don't get hangovers?

:afraid: surrounded?! Those things freak me out so much, my brain tells me they shouldn't exist because they're all squidgy and weird.
