"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... |

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.... |

I was on a horse once
it started off slow and got faster and faster and faster
it took all my strength too hold on.
I screamed for help.
I was getting giddy
so I screamed again
but nobody came to my rescue.
I screamed again and again
and eventually

the horse was for childrens use only.

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.
