What is the Most Risky Thing You Have Ever Done?

Just wondering...What do you consider to be the most risky thing you have ever done?

For me, the most risky thing I ever did was go sky diving (in tandem, of course) when I was 55 years old. I always wanted to try it. For my 55th birthday, my husband and children took me to a sky diving place...and my entire jump was videotaped by the company. It was an awesome experience...and (I'll admit) vary scary once we got up in the air. It was an amazing view (once I opened my eyes). Wouldn't do it again, but glad I did it once.

How about you? I'm sure risky experiences vary greatly from person to person. What one person considers risky, another person may not. Maybe yours was a step to overcoming a phobia or something like that. Care to share?

You definitely have a lot of company with that fear. At least you face it and get on the plane!

White water rafting. And equally risky on one of the trips was the bus trip back to the lodge. The bus was "vintage", to say the least. But worse than that, we had to go up a narrow steep dirt road with no guard rail! I was so proud to have made it through the rafting trip, but mostly thankful to be alive after the bus trip back!!!!!!!!
