Have you done something or want to do something that is/was life threatening?

I’d like to go scuba diving. I enjoy muff diving but scuba means I don’t have to hold my breath.

I've never had an oxygen tank while muff diving.

I used to race cars.

My job threatened my life once, made me very ill.

I train with Japanese swords. That can get "interesting".

If anyone is familiar with Gibraltar I was climbing and exploring up to one of the cannon holes and lost my grip I fell about 20 feet to what I thought was my death before my friend caught me skidding past with one arm and levered me into some brush. Took me awhile to gather myself before I could move off to try again. My legs were like jelly. I owe that lad my life.

It hasn’t put me off climbing although my dodgy legs have for the time being.

Me and my ex got lost in the woods in North America and stumbled across a bear about 20m in front of us.

It's the single most terrifying experience of my life but its a decent story to tell!

Muff diving with emphysema is generally a bad idea.

I've used up a fair few of my nine lives. Almost came a cropper diving. Almost died careening along at stupid speed in a Spanish taxi along ice encrusted roads. There are more...

I nearly died when I was 7. Since then I've not done anything deliberately life threatening. It genuinely holds no interest.

Under the Duvet

Shoes melted on a volcano.

Guides took us within 20 feet of flowing lava, could feel the hairs on my legs singeing...at which point I realised health and safety risk analysis must be slightly different in Guatemala....

Keep away from the Thomas the Tank Engine. That's hard-core.

The nearest thing i have done and still do to being life threatening is Motorbike racing. The nearest i have come to Death was in the late 1970's at Olivers Mount in Scarborough. For those that don't know, it's a road circuit just like the Isle of Man is. I was riding a Suzuki RG500 two stroke bike, which were complete beasts to ride and nearly as quick as todays Moto GP bikes.

I was in 3rd place and catching 2nd place rapidly. When i had the 2nd place guy in vision, i really "went for it". He went of the large bump at the top of the track and i followed about 2 seconds latter.

He had hit a rabbit on landing off of the bump and both he and his bike were in the middle of the track, i had no time to lay my bike down and get off and just plowed into him and his bike. He was killed, although the PM said he was dead before i hit him. I ended up in hospital for about 3 months and was off of work for over a year. I still race now..............but there isn't a week that goes by when i don't think about that race or think about if the PM and coroners findings were right.

My heart goes out to you, I can’t imagine what that must be like to try to come to terms with.

For many years i didn't come to terms with it at all and didn't race or even ride a roadbike. I have come to terms with it now, in fact quite a few years ago. It still is fresh in mind though and i think it always will be, it just dosn't stop me riding a roadbike or racebike anymore.

Sorry but I did laugh...

Mine was on a bike. Last time I rode. Was at a stop sign waiting to turn right. On a lovely bright yellow sv1000s... with black and yellow leathers and a Valentino Rossi rep lid...

I'm watching the traffic and think I will wait as was a big lorry coming... As the lorry starts to pass ..I feel a sudden shove and go do flying forward... couldn't tell you what happened next as it was all one big blur. I find myself unable to move.... And realise my hair is pinned. I can't move and think the worst. Lucky for me it was just my hair pinned under the wheels or the lorry.

I'd managed to get shoved under the lorry by a lady who apparently didn't see me.

Had to have an impromptu hair cut but apart from bruising and a few cuts I was fine.
