Recently suggested, in an online forum environment, that "Star Wars" sucks big hairy coconuts.

i would say packing my bags randomly, and deciding to move to another country. Risky but best decision i ever made.
Well that was crazy but how dangerous depends on the country. Welcome to the Android Forums mistress_tech, what made an iPhone users come here?... Bet you're curious.

Most dangerous thing?? Standing next to a bull moose with a full rack of antlers in the Alaska wilderness. I was walking up this trail got to the top and as I am standing there this bull moose came off this trail he wandered over about three feet away looked at me then proceeded to eat some branches before disappearing, my father had the encounter on video tape, this happened in 1988. The only other two things that come close is encountering a female moose and her off spring and an encounter with a grizzly both in Alaska. The craziest, coolest wildest, scariest thing I have ever done? Become a parent absolutely nothing compares to it

Are you talking The Transporter Legacy?Yeh, Beijng can have bad air, but I'm not there, I'm in Jinan, air is ok, and fully segregated cycle roads everywhere, i.e. cars are NOT mixed with bikes.
But I know if cycling on roads in London, one is asking to get creamed....been there, done that.

Yeah, but this ^^^^^^^guy has actually driven around in Boston, and the experience doesn't even make his "craziest, most dangerous ever" list of stories.......
How much credibility could he have, when it comes to scary?
The "have you ever seen a ghost" thread @smackdownea works well at the moment, for scary stories.

No, but I've been a pedestrian there...

I reckon this guy soiled his wet suit after this close encounter with a shark

I'd do that if I could swim. Thought of another one speaking of swimming...
Fourth of July, Sometime in the late 60s, for some reason my family brought two of those orange kapok lifejackets to a picnic next to a bright green pond; No one had a boat. My older cousin decided to walk across the pond to a rock island about 50 yards out in the middle. He strapped me up in the second one and across we went. Surprisingly to me the lifejackets actually worked. The bottom dropped off about 10 yards in and the water cleared up. No bottom could be seen or felt yet we still made it across. Now I was what you'd call a "husky" kid back in the day. Trusting your life to a few pounds of material was quite a crazy thing. Fortunately I was to young to realize that and my cousin could swim. We made it both ways without a problem.

Maybe I should change the title of this thread. Anybody who'd go in a shark cage has lots of stories to share... And let's not forget Kaat's sweetie. I'm sure she has more stories to share. Bungee Cliff Diving??? There's a man who doesn't mind taking risks.
How about;
What are the craziest, most dangerous things you've ever done?

I did crazily take a thread off topic once or twice
Damn: You must have balls of steel.
Speaking of pinball... j/k nothing dangerous about pinball

When I was in college, I worked at Hershey Park in the customer relations department as a summer job. Once a month, the park was opened after hours to employees only and we'd get a group loaded on the swinging ship ride like this one ...
And we'd get the operator to take the brakes off and let the thing go to its highest swing and then let gravity and momentum do its thing. The idea was to see if we could take 15-20 minutes of swinging before somebody pukes. Somebody always puked.
We'd also get on the big steel looping coaster (SooperDooperLooper) and ride 10 consecutive times without stopping.

I'll agree to crazy, but not dangerous.

Wouldn't take that long before I
. Did the puker have to buy everyone a drink?
I made my sweetie watch a "Twilight Zone" marathon. Fortunately she dug it.
