just wanted to know whats the scariest thing you've done...or been forced to do lol
mine would be being on the tippy top of the eiffle tower...and looking down!!! not a good idea lol

dont look down!!!

jeeze just lookin at that picture gives me the willies lol

It gives me the willies too !


The scariest thing that I have ever done was stood on the glass floor at the top of the CN Tower.

My friend and I ran out of gas on the way home from seeing a movie once. Wagoner doesn't have a theater, so we had to go see Mars Attacks! in Muskogee, anyway, my retard friend doesn't fill his car up, so we ran dry right on the highway, and had to hitch hike. We got a ride from this trucker, who had stuff in baby food jars prominently displayed on his dash. I could never make out what was floating in the liquid, it reminded me of when people I knew got things surgically removed and would get to take them home in jars of formaldehyde. I know some wierd people, I know. But there were at least a dozen of these jars. Anyhow, I didn't ask, he didn't tell, and we got home okay.

my friend and i have a bike trail we go on. once we thought it would be fun to go off the trail. we ended up goin WAY far away from it, and had no clue where it was, and only a small notion as to how to go back, and we were already scared, and didnt have n e thing left to drink. when we finally decided we were lost, we turned around and prayed that we be delivered safely back. we got back to the path, but still had about 3 or 4 miles to go, and as i said, we were tired, so, we took a shortcut that we KNEW was there, as soon as we got to the main road, my dad passed us. it was an awesome thing, but also very scary...not the scariest, but pretty scary...

I had a bit of a scare working on a rifle range during a training exercise. We were in the target frame trench (we call it the butts) raising and lowering the targets that the others were shooting at. At one point, we had to raise a target on a long stick.

Well, I heard a loud "CRACK!", felt the target fall beside me, and something hard "ping" off my helmet. The bullet had busted the stick, then hit my helmet. I found the lump of metal from the round on the ground beside me. I still have it at home.

Needless to say, I was quite happy when they called coffee break, and I could get some soothing caffiene into me.

That eiefel tower picture has me feeling dizzy just looking at it.

lol to get it i had to press up against the wire and stick my arm out as far as i could throught the wire fencing lol gave a me a heartattack when i almost dropped the damn camera lol

When I was like seven I went to the top of the Empire State Building (and I just realized why it's called that when I typed it...). Well, anyway, we were as high as you can go, looking over the edge, and I have like the worst fear of heights ever. Anyway, my sister thought it would be funny to come up behind me and pretend to push me off. That was scary. My dad did the same thing to me when we were at Niagra Falls.

I think the scariest thing i have ever done was to spend a night in a graveyard.
When i was a teenager a bunch of guys decided to see what it was like. By the morning, we were all so scared we couldn't even talk abot it. I'm sure it was all in our minds but we saw things i never wanna see again.

the scariest thing i've ever done was watch "The Ring" late at night and right after it finished the phone rang and no one wanted to pick it up...you know after i think about it this is more sad than scary

1. i went on the Tower of Terror at gold reef city (theme park ride) hell of a drop...so hectic.

2. was in a tree house alone at night in the middle of a massive field when i was younger.

3. broke into another house with my two friends and got caught.

4. bunked the first lesson with my friend yesterday and got caught by the most evil teacher in the world, told us to go to class but we couldnt so we ended up squashing up in a corner for 15 mins incase she saw us again. ive never wanted to be in class so badly.

5. was home alone one night for hours when the electricty went out....what a freaky night.

There were the most awesome woods behind my old house. there was a river that ran through them. on the other side of the river was this huge tree that'd fallen down. it was laying so that the closest you could get to the ground without actually getting off the tree was about 10 feet. And where the branches started was about 20-30 feet. between those two points, there was nothing to hold on to except the tree itself. I walked, not crawled, walked the whole length of that tree. I was the first one to do so.
......you hafta understand that I was about ten at the time.

last nite...my friend was helpin me clean/reorganize my room (n e one remember pickled~tacos? yeah, her) and she was moving my Nintendo...original Nintendo...my most precious belonging...(well...maybe 2nd or 3rd) and i rarely let n e one touch it...and she was holding it...with one hand!!! only one!!! and then, she saw that i was starting to get concerned for my baby, so...she started to wave it around, still with only one hand...it was honestly the scariest thing ever...*begins to sob* it was awful...

Watching Hocus Pocus.

Has to be when I was about thirteen. Eight of us were rolling a really nasty teachers yard. (For those that don't understand that, it's throwing toilet paper in the trees and and letting it hang. Actually, we had made kind of an art form. ) The police were called and they chased us for about two blocks. Nobody was caught but it scared the dooky out of me!

the eiffle tower wasnt scary!!

i thought it was cool!! esp. when you look down at the whole of paris and you can see the huge shadow of the tower stretching out for miles over the buildings!!

twas prettiful..

Oh cute LittleIrishVampiress, I'm going to have to add prettiful to my vocabulary.

tendo, man, i love games just as much as anyone, but seriously thats ... i don't know what that is...but maybe you need to put down the controller for a second....aaaah who am I kiddin'...PLAY ON!!!

hahaha, normally, it wouldnt bother me that much, but, i got it willed to me by an old couple who i had recently got quite close to, and they passed away...and, the first nintendo i got, was from my late grandmother, and my father and i bonded while playing games when i was very young...about 2 is when i started...and i even knew what i was doing in mario then...so, it holds alot of sentimental memories...

i accidently killed a kitten, no more details ihate myself since that day

Its a toss up between driving home in thick fog with windshield whipers that didnt work so i was pretty much driving blind, and a bad E experience that i started having convulsions and my eyes rolled back. Both were very frightening.

i feel you poz i cannot stand harming animals, i just feel so bad inside. like today when i got back from school, the neighbors cat was walkin with me, i was walkin up the steps and i accidentaly stepped on her a lil bit went inside got her some oscar meyere ASAP

The scariest thing that I ever done was when my husband had to leave the camp where we where staying and go where he could get cel phone service, and I had to stay there with my two boys and a rifle.... Wasn't so bad, except for the fact that a BIG BEAR decided to start circling that camp, just out of range of the fire light, so I could get a clear shot... I was scared TO DEATH!!!

I feel your pain. I had a similar experience years back in Virginia.

I get to do a lot of scary things as a firefighter, and I really like it that way. I love being able to run into a burning building and having walls of flames surrounding you close enough to be able to touch.

This photos is of a building that we were practicing fighting fires on; after I took the photo I went in with one other firefighter and a 2.5 inch hose to try and put the fire out.
[attachmentid=18474]

As you can see the room is fully engulfed in flames and the temperature of the room is well above 1200 degrees, even on the floor the temperature is hot enough to weaken steel.

A few secons after we got into the room and sprayed water, we got the fire under control; it was amazing...

I also am part of the Technical Rescue Team. We do rope rescue to lower ourselves over cliffs to be able to pull people out of wrecked cars, or folks that have screwed up while rock climbing. Hanging from a rope hundreds of feet in the air is a rush.

Part of the TRT is Confined Space rescue where people get stuck in very small spaces; collapsed buildings, caves, sewer pipes, that kind of stuff. ZConsidering I used to be claustrophobic, it is kind of scary to be crawling hundreds of feet down a 24 inch pipe that is so narrow I can't even fit in it with my arms at my side; I have to reach out in front of me and scrunch my shoulders down to be able to fit...

I have never had the pleasure of running into a burning building. However; during my 8 weeks of Basic Training in the Navy we had to walk...slowly...through a burning building...actually not really burning..just full of smoke...no gear, masks or anything...I was truly petrified about half way through it...I came close to panic...but didn't...but I will never forget how truly frightening it was to not be able to breath.

I applaud your bravery FB!

scariest thing ive ever done , hmmmmmm, i guess this one time we had this big argue with my sister, when we were just kids, and i throw a rock on her feet, i bet it hurt like hell poor sis

When I was 18 me and my cousin went cliff jumping in Devon, that's me at the top:

I don't know what the scariest thing I have ever done is, but I don't like heights and I had to do the high rope and hated it I went through with it but still hated it.

Doing a HALO jump in the middle of the night. It's sketchy enough popping your chute at under 1000 feet but at night with night vision goggles you have no depth perception

Something like that happened to me and I hate myself so much still... we were looking at puppies someone was giving away, and I was young, and holding the squirming thing... And we were gonna take it home, when I accidently dropped it on the hard floor and it's head hit the ground. He started acting all retarded after that and twitching his head and stuff and he was still doing it after we left. We took a different puppy. I feel so bad still... this was some 8 years ago, I'm sure that puppy is pretty old now (if it's even still alive). I just feel like I ruined it's life. I wish I knew that it was alright so I could let go of this regret.

Seriously it still makes me cry

Now that would be scary to mee too... I hate aloneness, even more in the dark.

Umm, I bellyflopped off a water fall in alaska into water filled with ice. May not sound scary, but you try it lol.

I've done a few stupid things in my life, mostly when I was a li'l kid.
I used to climb trees a lot, and once I went up this really really high tree. I was, I don't know, ten or something, and the tree was at least ten metres high. I climbed almost all the way to the top, and then the branch I was standing on snapped.
I didn't fall as I was holding on to the branch above me, but it wasn't very nice to dangle my feet that high above the ground. But I got down all right and I never told my day care teacher what had happened.

Okay, scariest things I have ever had to do....

Both of my girls had surgery when the were very young. The scariest thing in the world to a parent is to allow a surgeon to take your crying child out of your arms and watch them walk towards the operating room, while your little one is crying with her arms extended towards you.

That is fear.

the scariest thing ive done is..... Flown a glider at 2000ft,+ not a handglider, the propeller one

and 2) climbed a 45ft wall


3) I hate the dark, and my house is haunted, and at 1:45pm, the electricity went out

Not so much scary, but nervewracking was when we went into this building during training in order to put out the fire in the rooms:
[attachmentid=18904]

[attachmentid=18903]

When we walked in, it was over 500 degrees 2 feet off of the floor. It was toasty warm, and was hot enough to make me think that maybe it was a bit too much to try and put out. I got it out though, at least that room, the entire house was set on fire and put out a good 15 times before it started to collapse; this just ended up being the room I was responsible for.

This is a few of the folks that were in the training with me. I am on the left:

[attachmentid=18905]

I totally know what you mean. I just recently had to help hold my screaming 5 year old down while the doctor stapled the back of her leg, then I had to help take them out 10 days later. I about needed a drink after that.

But I think the scariest thing I have ever done was walk across the ponde du garde in France. It is a 2000 year old ancient aquaduct system and is several stories above a river that is not deep enough to save your life if you fell and it has no railings of any kind. It may sound kind of lame, but I am afraid of heights.

Reading thru these made me yearn for yesteryear when my only fears were simple things like heights and being alone in the dark. <wistful smile>

amybutts -- I hear ya.

The scariest thing I've ever experienced was the birth of my first son. I had eclampsia with a bp of 210 over 120 which is scientifically called the "OMG she's gonna freakin' die" range. All i could hear was my heart pounding and far off in the distance the doctor telling me to push hard to get him out before I had a stroke or he did. Then they whisked him away before I could hold him.

One of the scariest or weirdest nights I've ever had was when I took a hit of acid for the first time with a few friends.They were fine and went home later that night.But I was in no shape to go home I was freaking out.Early that night after taking the acid i saw a guy pumping gas and when he reached in his back pocket for his wallet I saw a huge gun in his belt .I wasn't sure if I really saw it or not.I felt like my senses were very aware.Later the same night we parked in the very center of a huge graveyard just to let the seats back and jam on some music.Well while I lay there I had a vision like I was about 25 feet up in the air looking down on the car and seeing all those skeletons in their graves with the car in the middle.Freaky.Any who later that night I was alone and walking around the town trying to sober up this fog started to roll in and it started looking pretty much like a scene out of a werewolf movie.so i start to approach a street light when I notice a figure beneath it.As I got closer I realized it was the guy at the gas station with the gun.I could not believe it,what were the chances of that?So i try to pass my him without being noticed but it was 2:30 in the morning rainy, foggy and the only fool outside walking around.So he goes "You got any weed" And I said no,because I wanted to get away from him remembering the gun.Any way we got to talking and he seem like a nice guy and I told him what I had been doing so he invited me to his girlfriend house which was just a block away from my sisters house.Just when I thought it couldn't get any stranger, we open the door to her house and crap I'll bet there were a hundred candles burning all over the house.It was such a strange night.I got up the next day before they awoke and left.I dont do drugs now.

Ummmm......"propeller glider?" No such thing. Do yuo mean like, a kind of plane without an engine? I've flown in those numerous times.

I hate heights, but one day (somehow) got the nerve to bungi with my best friend at the time. I'm getting light headed just thinking about the view of it all!

When I was about 7 years we went to my grandma in North-Persia, she has a huge huge farm. And there are alot of snakes in North Persia but none poisons cuz of the Caspian Sea. Anyways I tried to become friends with the local kids there, so they said you gotta do this test. The test was that I had to grab a snake by its tail and sling it away and once you done that you would understand the way of the snake. So I tried this and it didnt go so good, I think I got bitten over 50 times, those snake were really really fast, maybe even faster then the eye
I still remember the first time I needed to grab a snake and I was so scared I couldnt move I was shaking like hell.
But after about 2 weeks I final managed to pull it of, I slinged a Black Snake away and I finally became a member of the Snake's Brotherhood But what still amazes me was that after I became a member the snake's kinda didnt bite me anymore. For example I once had a Corn/Red Snake (pretty aggressive snake) slidding next my feet and he didnt go a thing, I just grabbed him by the tail and putted it somewere else without being attacked

I have been a professional pilot and flight instructor for 20 years and I can assure you that a "propeller glider" does exist. It is more commonly referred to as a powered glider. It takes off and climbs to altitude on its own. The engine is then shut down and folded back into the fuselage and the aircraft is then operated as a conventional sailplane.

There are many manufacturs, but here is a website that has pictures of one such powered glider:

Hope this clears up that little bit of misinformation. :-)

Scariest thing i've done...watch Showgirls. (creepiest movie I've ever seen)

go to an anti-government rally and get entangled between the riot and tear gases.

Hmm. When I did that I was issued a wrist altimeter; but you are right, for what seemed like hours I kept asking myself why did I jump out of a perfectly good airplane?
But to answer the original: Flying over North Vietnam (in a big, fat helicopter) the first time after being told we couldn't arm our weapons until fired upon. Say what?????
After that, seems that nothing much frightens me.

Bungee jumped twice.
