    Not the movie. Just couldn't resist.

    (If you've never heard of that movie, I think that means you are too young to be around me.)

    Anyway, what's the riskiest thing you've done? Skydive? Mountain climb?

    Would you do that stuff?

    I'm not TOO adventurous. I think the craziest thing I've done is Tough Mudder. It was hard, but I'd have had to try pretty hard to die. Jumping off that 30 foot structure into the 35° water in the quarry below was kinda scary, but I didn't really have too much time to think about it until I was on the way down and starting thinking "hmm. This is a long fall." LOL

    My brother and my husband both love that stuff. My brother has been bungee jumping and swimming with sharks and his wife petted a wild lion on a safari in Africa (they got an AWESOME picture). My husband loves skydiving, whereas I can't understand why anyone would jump from a perfectly good airplane. For me riding on Splash Mountain at Disney World is a terrifying adventure. Probably the "riskiest" thing I've ever done was to go bear watching in Alaska. It wasn't scary at all, the bears totally ignored our group. But we were maybe 30-50 feet from a dozen or so grizzlies while they fished for salmon in the bay. It was incredible.

    I would probably go hiking or mountain climbing before I would do bungee jumping or skydiving. And I think I might have petted the lion because it's just so cool.

    I'm a non risk taker. I can only think of two possible things but they are boring. #1 took a few flying lessons as a 15 year old. #2 Went up to a random house in Montana to see if someone knew where our old family farmstead was located. Ended up at the 20-something year old mayor's house who led us to family that still lived in the town. Stayed the night with them & got a tour. It was AMAZING!

    Can't think of anything risky here but then again, I'm an Aries and Adventure is our Middle Name! LOL I hunt, ride motorcycles, play volleyball with the guys in my department and just like to have fun.

    Oohhh! Yes, I do remember Mr. Cruise in Risky Biz'ness! Yummmmy! ***Just take those old records off the shelf I'll sit and listen to 'em by m'self....***

    I think the riskiest thing I ever did was hop on a greyhound to go to another country to meet a man I'd been chatting with on the internet and phone for 6 months. Of course I never thought it was risky, but lots of my family and friends thought I was crazy. We'll be married 13 years this month. :)

    I bungee jumped once and had a blast but that is about it...well I do some clay shooting occasionally but I don't think that is very adventurous

    I too loved Risky Business but I agree that Mr. Cruise is crazy as a loon now :giggle

    Having children. :lmao

    No, lemme think. Probably the surfing lessons on our honeymoon on Kauai. The ocean had tried to murder me the day before and I hate deep water so the surfing was incredibly risky for me.

    I'm a complete ninny. I loved roller coasters and motorcycles when I was younger. These days, roller coasters give me headaches and as for motorcycles...well, Lisa's (aka lkane12673) husband took me for a slow ride - maybe 5 minutes - and I didn't stop shaking for an hour after. Yep, I'm a ninny.

    dang but that made me laugh
    risky?
    yikes?
    repeling on the cliffs of the west coast? but it wasn't really risky, cause they are pretty safe, but it was exilerating to bounce off that wall and feel the ocean spray?
    I jumped off this bridge [​IMG]way more times than I can count! both sober and well not so sober.
    I lived in my VW bug for 4 months.
    I have a complicated teen/twenties memories...probably did some things, I do not remember...
    now I have 7 children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

    I'm not a risk taker... I have done a few things like White Water Rafting (where I broke my teeth) but nothing like bungee jumping or skydiving. No interest in that whatsoever! :)

    I met more than one boy off the Internets in my college years. Oops. Oh, and I also flew cross country and spent 2 weeks at a digi scrapper's house whom I hadn't met before the plane landed.

    Besides that, nothing really. I am planning on going ziplining this summer! That is risky(ish). :)
