What is the scariest thing you have ever done for fun?
There’s a traffic tunnel that connects Oakland and Alameda, and while I was in the Navy & stationed in Alameda, I’d often cross through that thing by riding my bike down the 3-foot wide sidewalk. Handlebars were about 2-feet wide. Leaves about 6 inches clearance on either side. Tile wall on one side, metal railing on the other. Went downhill for 3/4 of a mile, uphill for the other 3/4. The first half of the run was a blast. Just don’t sneeze or flinch.
Anyway, looks like this…
It is loud, and it reeks of car exhaust. And as you can see toward the end of the video, heaven help you if you come across a pedestrian.
Also bungee jumping, but that’s only scary between the time you step off the platform and the time the cord starts pulling you back. After that, it’s just a very smooth roller coaster ride.

I dropped acid once.

What is the scariest thing you have ever done for fun? I’d tell you but now that I’m an adult it scares me to think about it.
Hiking to the upper side of the Kaaterskill falls. Used to be a beautiful trail through the woods that opened suddenly to the falls, a drop of almost 200feet. No signs or anything. 30 years ago I took my son up there, he was about 8. The next day I showed him a news report about someone falling off and getting killed.
Read IMAO! And enlist in 1968.
