35 of the Most Dangerous Things People Have Ever Done

Most of us have done something dangerous, but a few of these Redditors make our perilous acts look like amateur hour. One remembered riding a horse down a highway at 1 a.m. to get a milkshake; another street raced in the unlit mountains of Indonesia to secure the thrills they were obviously lacking from every other part of their life. 

Other daredevils have chimed in with the stupidly dangerous things they’ve attempted — including one guy who adopted an Ivan Drago mentality while on the world’s steepest zipline — and we couldn’t be bigger bores in comparison.

kiimico 9y ago Went cycling on the pan American highway in Peru up in the mountains when we were basically in a cloud. The visibility was zero and it was raining so much you could hardly keep your eyes open while going downhill. I nearly ate the road a couple of times but my friend wasn't so lucky and caught the side of a lorry and splintered a bone in her knee so we had to take a 6 hour ambulance to get her to surgery. Luckily she's okay now. 54 ...
Telepsychic . 3y ago . Edited 3y ago Climbed a 150 ft water tower drunk af on the 4th of July to watch fireworks. Ladder was 15ft off the ground and you had to shimmy up a sketchy loose pipe attached to the side of the tower to even get on the ladder. Super scary getting to the ladder but once you're on it's not so bad. 64 ...

The_Dudes_Rug_ . 9y ago Thought an extremely electrical piece of equipment (rectifier for those who know what it was) was shut off by one of my coworkers. Turned out it wasn't. Had I not been holding the rubber grip on the wrench I was using I would gotten thousands of volts of electricity going throughout my body. When I saw the sparks flying I jumped instinctively jumped away. The wrench was completely warped where it had touched the rectifier. Never told anyone this, but I peed a little. 150 ...

runswiftrun 3y ago Hopped a train. It was going fairly slow through the city, about as fast as a casual jog but it was cutting me off for the foreseeable future. Jogged between two cars, hopped on the joint thingie and hopped off on the other side. There may or may not have been alcohol involved, and I realized the next day how lucky drunk me had been. 4 ...
roberttlang1121 3y ago High speed T top riding. Basically, me and my friends would take turns sitting on top of the middle brace between a firebirds removed T-tops. A trusted driver would then fly down a back road going ~ 100 mph. It feels so much faster and one swerve would probably kill you. There's also the legal aspect, but luckily we never got caught. We were teenagers circa 2002. 4 ...
rizzleishere1993 3y ago I went on the worlds steepest zipline 'The Flying Dutchman' in St Maarten Not exactly a fan of heights. It was about 1000ft steep (took multiple cable cars and ziplines to reach the top) and I think they said we went speeds of about 45mph, but this was a few years ago I always think back to Rocky IV in these situations, with Ivan Drago saying if he dies, he dies 8 ...
surfinwhileworkin 3y ago Tried to gracefully lower myself three stories off a deck I accidentally locked myself out on and fell, landing on my back, on the driveway. For a moment, I didn't think I'd be able to get up. When I finally was able to stand up, my relief was overcome with terrible back pain that persisted for weeks. Lucky I didn't die or paralyze myself. 14 ...
