Are you a danger mouse?

[Junglemum]

I love it, adrenalin sports, rides, public speaking, the lot.

Although I have never bungy jumped.... Something about that doesn't appeal, but I'd still do it if I found myself in the situation.

Planking doesn't really do it for me though..... I can think of better challenges to get a buzz. I like my adrenalin sober.

I will admit to being slightly more cautious since having babies, not sure if I'm out if practice, lack of opportunity or if it's a mumma thing.

I love the thought of pushing the limits, but mostly I'm scared to do so. Occassionally, I'll push the limit. Riding my horse bareback in a gallop from one end of the paddock to the other, no bridle, no reins, yeah that was a favourite of mine. I've done the upside down rides, the rollercoasters. And the steepest slide at Wet and Wild. But all when I was younger (probably up to early 20's). As I've gotten older, the consequences are firmer in my mind. If I fall off a horse and get hurt, I can't look after my DD. But I do want to be someone who pushes the boundaries, even a little bit. Planking at the moment seems a little pointless. But I guess as it becomes more famed, the challenge of it will get greater and we'll see some insane planks.

I dont do some rides but I love getting on my ex race horse and pushing that button and getting into a gallop - that flat out gallop with his ears back and ever muscle rippling... its the "am I going to stay on this time" thoughts that get me going!

I love all the 'scary' rides at the show and i used to love fast cars and the thought of racing speedway (until some friends died in an accident and it's kinda taken away my 'edge'), now i still enjoy it but not as much.
Theres something about taking the motorbike up a hill or down one that i'm not quite sure i can do until i try.

My girls are exactly the same, DD1 loved the rides at Moomba, she rode OUR quad bike the other day ALL ON HER OWN.. she's 2 it's 200kg+ and she's 12kg and she had a ball.
If we don't take risks we don't learn, if we play it safe all the time we might miss the perfect opportunity.
We are human, were meant to make mistakes.... live, laugh & learn.. can you do all of those things if were too scared to turn the page of a book for fear of a papercut, you can't cook toast in case it catches on fire, don't drive you might have an accident... it's all relative, we all have our fears and our own expectations of our body but danger is what we make of it.
As long as you take responsibility for your actions.. who cares!

Everyday I do something dangerous....I drive my car, cross the road and eat the food I have cooked :P

DH is a big adrenaline junkie...he loves bungy jumping and anything classified as extreme! We waterski so that is considered dangerous. Everything you do comes with risk and if you sit in a bubble your whole life you are not living! Thats not to say go do extreme sports or activities just go live!

JM I am much more cautious now since having kids but even maybe a bit more brave as I dont want them to see me frightened lol

I guess I am - i'm a 'blue shirt' after all and it's my job

Things can change in the blink of an eye

I have done a lot of adrenaline sports in the past. Onyx I love the rush of standing at the top of a run, unsure if you'll make it down without falling (or crashing into something). Or the joys of being at the top of your first ever black run with your dad and him just pushing you down the slope. Or your mother goading you into walking on fire. OK I think my parents have a lot to answer for!

I've jumped out of planes, thrown myself off bridges, gone paddling down crocodile infested rivers, walked through the bush with killer animals around (and finding footprints around your tent of same said animals the next morning), thrown myself off mountains (both front & rear facing), been hit with swords, rode horses (and fallen spectacularly off them too), gone drifting (even held the camera for a couple of runs - hard to hold on when you've got a camera in your hands & you're filming), raced various cars, been in the back of a ute going along the highway at 110kms, circle work at BnS balls, gone shooting out of a helicopter, danced with the devil in the pale moonlight (ok maybe not that).

I like a happy medium sometimes

Onyx those freaking teacups scare me (or that could have been the fact I'd been drinking alcohol for 2 days when I got on the ride at Disney so it was a scary ride for me then).

The best way to live is on the edge. Life would be boring otherwise. Even if there is not real point in it, it gives you a good laugh, and laughter is the best medicine!

[Mum2SweetCs]

Everytime I sit in dh's v8 I get adrenaline... No actually, I get a heart attack.

[loulabelle]

I like a bit of adrenaline, like water skis, jet skis etc.
I get bad motion sickness though so rides and anything that I'm not in control of myself makes me vomit.

I've started roller Darby and that gives me the rush, it's fast and you have the possibility of being smashed to the ground.

I love adrenalin but for me it's usually a calculated risk.

Value and crave life, and do not be afraid.

[Cranky Kitten]

I am a bit of a weird contradiction sometimes - I hate "scary" rides more because they upset my stomach than frighten me but I love waterskiing, horse-riding (don't get to do it nearly often enough), have been skin-diving on reefs and love driving fast on gravel on the family farm.

Couldn't think why you'd go bungy jumping, or why you'd throw yourself out of a perfectly good plane when flying it yourself is so much more fun and planking? Just seems kind of pointless to me.
