    I'll start, like 5 years ago my buddy and I were going to another friends house. I was driving a 95 dodge dakota going about 60 mph and I realized I had my tailgate up. At the time I thought it was a better Idea to have it down cause of wind resistance and such (I think mythbusters did something about this a while ago)

    anyways i told my buddy to climb out the back and put it down. So he climbs out the little window to my truck bed and while i'm going 60 and not paying attention to the road watching him he's yanking on the handle trying to pull it down. Unfortunately it was stuck so he was like jumping up and down pushing and pulling it. To this day I look back and wonder if that thing just whipped open he could have easily flown out and I probably would have been part of my best friends death.

    whats yours??

    When I was in high school we had a big snow for So. Illinois. (About 8 in.) The wind was blowing so it drifted. We were driving down the country roads and diving off the back of my buddy's beat up pickup into the snow drifts in the ditches. I know this is another thing that qualifies as stupid, but it was the first thing I thought of when I read the OP.

    A really drugged out friend in a club in Japan got into a fight with a Yakuza elder and I had to defuse the situation. The stupid fuck was so high that he kept trying to go after the guy (who, to be fair, had broken one of his ribs), but touching him would have resulted in my not being here to post this today. The people in the club made it very clear that it was my friend 100% and not me that was the problem, but because of how honor works and he was there with me, I was also never welcome back, and made it clear that if he showed up again, the result was not going to be pretty. As in like Black Rain ugly...

    I was around 20 and in the lobby of an arena before a hockey game. I see this huge native dude walking quickly towards me (picture the big indian from One Flew Over the Cuckoos nest). He grabs me with both hands by the collar and pulls me towards him. I looked him in the eyes and yelled "what the fuck is your problem" dude. He looks at me and says "ah shit man, i'm sorry, you aint the right guy" and lets me go. My knees didn't stop shaking for three hours lol.

    think this applies for both.
    my first truck was a 1988 chevy s-10, well one night me and a buddy were shootin bottle rockets around the fourth off the hood off the bed whatever we could stick a bottle rocket in or on the body was done. well we get done and get bored, no where to buy more past midnight that night. i drive us a round a little while and we come to a railroad track, its one of the country ones where it goes up at like 45 degree angle for 8 to ten feet then flat for the tracks then back down at the same angle. so i ask my buddy wanna jump it? hes like hell yeah. so i back up to get a running start and hit it at about 60-65.

    yea that was dumb and dangerous. we caught a few seconds of air before we landed and my head nailed the roof. but i kept control and drove off.

    dukes of hazzard......terrible influence on us youths

    Most dangerous? Earlier today me and some of my boys were hanging outside of Buch's just chilling when he came home with some DQ blizzards and a bat bag and told us all to scadadle. Never been so scared in my life...
    Seriously though, was in a friend's Camaro going about 130 KM/ HR when his front left tire blew up. We were riding the rim at that speed but he managed to keep it under control and pulled onto the side of the highway. All I could think about was how lucky we were it didn't happen about 100 KM's earlier when he was showing off and had us going well over 200 KM's / HR.

    I had unprotected sex in a committed, monogamous relationship a few years ago. I also used to ride a bicycle without a helmet almost every day when I was a child.

    I can hardly believe I made it out alive.

    3 "brothas" kicked in my dorm room door when I was in college one Sunday afternoon, while 7 of my other buddies were in there with me watching NFL football (don't remember the game). They demanded weed and money, they wore hoods, facemasks, and had fairly big blades. Needless to say, they didn't leave that 14x14 dorm room without a WAR. But thats a story for another day.

    100 percent true. I was one of 120 or so injured. Went straight through my right shoulder. I didn't even realize I was hit until about 5 minutes after it happened. Everybody was panicking and we were just trying to get the hell out of there when I realized my shoulder was killing me. Even then, I thought maybe I dislocated it or something. The blast threw me forward quite a bit. A security guard finally stopped me and told me I was bleeding. I lift my shirt sleeve and realize I have a fucking nickel sized bullet hole in my shoulder that is gushing blood. Fun night in the hospital followed by several interviews with FBI, secret service, etc. Fuck you Eric Robert Rudolph.

    The governor kept us at 170mph, otherwise we prob would've been doing 200+.
