There are too many driving 'near misses' to even count.....
But the one I will never forget.....I was at the Grand Canyon with my family and walking along one of the paths around the rim. Of course there were lots of 'DO NOT LEAVE THE PATH' signs but hey I was too cool for that....Anywho...I wanted to scramble down the bank to get a better view of a little peninsula farther around the path that my parents were on. The bank was covered in loose gravel and I slid down but finally caught myself on a little stick of a tree growing in the scree. My parents saw me and waved frantically for me to get back on the path. Yeah, Yeah, no prob mom...
Well, when I finally got over to where they were, I saw I was about three feet from the edge of a drop off that went all the way down into the canyon. My knees got weak and I had to sit down.
Done lots of scary stuff on purpose that would have resulted in some serious injuries but not too much stuff that I would consider 'death defying'. Jumping off bridges, skiing stunts, motorcycle stuff, etc...
