*As a teen rode with my friends to a coastal spot 2 1/2 hours away at midnight and stayed up all night and day and drove home.
*Found out the hard way with a mouth full of stitches that I was allergic to the pain meds.
*As a child went to an army base and played in tanks several times.
*Stood between 2 grown men, who were throwing punches at each other, while trying to break it up
*took a plan ride in a small private plan

[ZephyrHawk]

While trying to think of things that its very unlikely other people on the boards have done, I came across a number of things from my past that really, probably shouldn't ever be done. I have:

- Hiked the Subway at Zion (I don't recommend it)
- Skied off-trail past a 'Danger - Cliff Area' sign at Jackson Hole, WY (also not recommended)
- Skied the China Bowl at Vail at age 11 (probably not advisable)
- Capsized and righted sailboats (repeatedly and on purpose)
- Been used as extra weight on a boom during a sailbot race at age 10 or so (that means they put me on top of it and pushed it out over the water while under way)
- Ridden the (then) tallest (now second tallest) roller coaster in the world (not personally recommended, but at least not actively dangerous)
- Visited the world's largest geode, sat at the world's longest bar and eaten in the world's oldest restaurant (two of these three may be done within 1 mile of each other)
- Galloped, jumped and shown horses bareback
- Engaged in friendly fencing matches where getting hit by your opponent was penalized in drinking game format
