I would rather say yes. Some to note are walking bare foot in a minus 5 degrees ice, heart thrilling theme park water and other rides, Watching Niagara falls nearby from a helicopter. I need to add still more but they don't seem big. The funniest but scariest adventure is being chased by a stray dog and still escape. In all these above I am sure my heart was in my mouth for a moment. The most toughest one was the roller coaster and the funny rides in theme park. Did anyone had a heart attach there. Oh my god i still cant forget that. Share your thoughts on he same.

I went on the Superman Ride at Six Flags and that was awesome. I felt great when I went on that ride.

Some roller coasters are the scariest things to get on that's for sure. I've had my share of scary and freaky rides in the past, some I refuse to go on again, but others that I love after the first ride.
I did a ride called Sky Flyer, you're harnessed into a restraint that has a ripcord on it and you're raise about 180 feet in the air. When you're told to, you pull the ripcord and go right into a steep free fall, then go flying back and forth. It's a freaky experience doing this for the first time, but then it's not so bad after that. I've done it 2 or 3 times, but never alone.
I was on a boat in front of Niagara Falls, and that was an amazing experience, being so close to something so powerful is a great experience.
I haven't done anything else that's been memorable, but hopefully I will in the future.

Hi,
I haven't done anything that extreme, but I have done some pretty stupid things. Like, I once clibed up a half-built houses wall, on the outer side. I still don't know how I managed that one. And one night I went after my dog in twilight and I hadn't any shoes on. The ground was kind of painful, twigs and rocks. Anyway, I stepped on an old window pane with glass still intact because it would be smooth and not painful to step on. I had stepped on it when the sun was shining and it was okey, but that time was twilight and the window was moist with condensation. So naturally, I fell through. I got an earful from my father for that one (he didn't know about the wall climbing). So nothing adventurous but plenty things stupid and dangerous. Can't say I've learned anything, I would do the same things again, just a little differently.

Well, I am not a Big fan of Roller Coasters and actually never have been. But anymore rides that go in circles like the Octopus, and the Log water ride are almost getting too much for me. It is getting to the point due to age, and Health reasons these are not good for me to consider as well. I have not been in a Helicopter in close to 40 yrs. or so since I was growing up, but this I think would be a Fun adventure sometime for sure.

In my younger days I traveled on my own to many different places. I traveled around Europe by train when I was 18 years old. Then I traveled around the world when I was 20 years old. On that trip I did some para sailing three times. When I was in my mid twenties I went to Israel and Jordan. The year before my disabled son was born I traveled to Central America and climbed some very steep Mayan ruins.
When I was a teenager I went on a roller coaster and a pirate ship that went upside down. Then at age 21 years old I went on a ride that went backwards and spun around. No, I didn't go back for a second ride. Once was enough for sure. I don't think I will go on anymore scary rides in the future at theme parks.
I have watched 'Coach Trip' on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom. The travelers on that have to do some very adventurous stuff. I watched when some of them went across a zip wire. They did a bungee jump. They jumped off a tall tower and landed at the ground with a bounce. They went down a rock face on a harness. A couple of years ago the some other travelers went water skiing. Wow!
I am glad you escaped from the stray dog. Walking bare foot on ice most have been very cold indeed. It must have been amazing for you to see Niagara Falls from a helicopter.

Dear friend,
I had done and some of it are done unknowingly and some knowingly. When had visited those rides in parks and festivals it is amazing and adventurous, I like those adventurous rides through jungles which I enjoyed in deep forest of India that too mostly high ranges. But not chased by any dogs. No heart problems but I enjoy those rides in parks.

I do had a lot of adventure in life. Nut I cannot exactly say they are an adventure since I took them as part of my training for work. I have done rapelling from a helicopter, bridge and walls, trying out some grenade throwing, tasting tear gas, flash bang... Well i think d adventure that i did which is somewhat not part of work is scuba diving. Up until now I continue to dive and is always thrilled as I go underwater..

My latest adventures have been while on vacations. I´ll tell you one now. A little over a year ago I was invited to be part of the crew of a sailboat. We went to Kunayala, at the Caribbean. We had to be in Colón on a certain day as we had to leave the ship there and fly back to Chile where we live.
That last day the motor left us. Fortunatly we had already brought up the anchor. We sailed and just that day we had rain and wind. We could only use the sails but it was extremelly dangerous. Fortunatly the two couples who were with me were seasoned sailmen and my only job was to keep the smallest sailor away from trouble by telling him stories diwn at one of the cabins.
We reached Colon finally, the sun shone and we got help there to take us tp where the yatches were parked.

Not yet, but soon. I'm considering my bf's option to me, and i'm kind of tempted to do it. But of course he has to join me in doing it too, because i'm scared. Other than that, i've attempted roller coaster rides together with my bf because i'm scared of heights and speed. So taking a roller coaster is a very big dare for me. Next thing i want to do is rock climbing because my bf says its fun and it's a form of motivation too.

Hello xorticanz! Belive it or not, i do not like to feel the adrinaline level going up..it gives me a very scary state of being, and i hate that i can't control my feelings in that moment :D I have tried the roller coaster and it was a great experience, but i do not want to repeat it..i have done it once and is enough for me! However i do envy you for seeing the niagara's fall :D what a splendid view that was!?! Hope i will get to see it one day

Yes I have tried some adventures in my life. And before 3 days I have tries on types of adventures in Water Park. Ye I was go to water park with my some friends and their I tried a slide named black hole. Yes it was the very dangerous slide which comes from 4th floor and end on the ground floor in the pools. And in the way there are many dangerous turns. And no any security provided you during when you doing in this slide. So I take the risk and when I sliding then the speed of moving was very fast and I was very afraid. But at the end I fell down in the pool after ending slide. So it was the adventures of my life. And I enjoyed it very much.

Anyone who is athletically competitive loves adventure. We take risk every day just to win. Parenting is an adventure. There's millions of adventurous situations I can think of. Starting a new business. Investing. Changing careers. Higher education.
