Probably street racing is about the most stupid thing I have ever done.

Another thing that is really stupdi was some friends and I got out on a 2 lane road going about 40 mph and jumped from the bed of one pick up truck to another. I did it twice.

Well let's see here. Where to begin?
May 2004 I was deployed with Battalion Landing Team 1/4 as part of the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit. July 19th 2004 we landed at Kuwait Naval Base and convoyed through Kuwait to a small FOB designated Navistar. We spent a relatively short amount of time there getting acclimated and conducting some last minute training operations. Soon after we crossed the border into Iraq and pushed North West to An Najaf. We set up a FOB designated Hotel. August 4th 2004 our convoy was ambushed by Muqtada al-Sadr and the Mahdi Militia. The following few weeks will become one of the heaviest firefights of OIF.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Najaf_(2004)

Also, the video I posted before was made from pictures taken during that time period to commemorate the occasion and honor the fallen.

I would be more than happy to share my personal experiences with anyone, but I have neither the time nor the inclination to write a novel as my reply to this post. Feel free to contact me with questions and I'll be happy to answer them.

So to answer the question, the most dangerous thing I've ever done: Charge into a city in Iraq where lots and lots of people are trying to kill me
lol.

Well I've never killed anyone. (yet that is)

Street racing.

Taught myself to do backflips off the side of a motel swimming pool one year. No diving board. Just me and my just as stupid cousin who tried (and learned) to do this with me.

Ex-girlfriend. (dangerous is putting it mildly. example - she tried to knife me one day)

Painting the underside of one of my cars. The front was supported by jackstands, the back was setting on the floor jack. No wheel, no tires on the car.

Laying under a '57 Chevy BelAir 4-door Sedan in a salvage yard to remove the transmission. NO wheels/tires on the car. Just my floor jack holding the very heavy 6 cylinder engine up. (STUPID!)

Doing drugs.
