What is the most dangerous thing you ever did?

Climbed a 1500 foot tall TV tower in the middle of the night to help my Husband change the bulbs!

 

Damn…..

 

That piques one's curiosity...perhaps a bit more explanation?

 

Holly shit! You go GIRL!

 

Drove a friend's car back to my place with him passed out in the passenger seat after a night of drinking because somebody had to drive us home. It was so foggy you could barely see the hood ornament on the front of his car and I woke up three times on the way home behind the wheel doing 60 mph on the wrong side of the highway.

 

In the days of the troubles in Cyprus between the Greeks and Turks, I had the unenviable job of telling a well-armed and very aggressive Turk that he must stop fixing up his fortifications. After looking down at his loaded gun, the barrel had my ever-increasing attention. One wrong move, and word, I would not be writing this posting.

 

Without a doubt, testing a motorcycle's top end speed to unsafe. We wanted to know how fast it could go, getting it up to 148 before it began to wobble to the point of losing control.

 

What is this? I know it’s some type of light, but what it it attached to? How far up do you have to go to change it?

 

Helped hubby change light bulbs on a 1,500 foot tall TV tower At Night!

 

Holy crap!! That dude got jacked right in the face!!! Fuuuuck thaaaat!! Thank you for explaining that, I totally had no clue. I don’t mess with it- I let certified professional mechanics deal with that. I know it costs, especially when it comes to labor, but for things like THAT?! Yeah I’m ok with leaving it in (hopefully), good hands!

 

Rolling down I-44 one night just into Oklahoma. It was in the dead of winter with a light mist falling. I couldn't figure out why the steering felt weird crossing bridges as I blew past other traffic. I was running around 80 when I hit a bridge just a little sideways and the rear end broke loose. Have you ever seen the sign that reads "Bridge Ices Before . . . ". Yea, well they do. You're supposed to turn into a skid, right? No not me. As I went sideways I turned with the skid bringing the vehicle all the way around, a 360, before hitting the dry pavement at the end. Once off the bridge I slowed to 50 now realizing why steering felt so weird.

 

Avalanche skiing.

 

It is a Sykes Pickavant tool holding the suspension springs on the suspension arm of a car compressed during removal. The pressure on release is about 30% of the weight of the car.
When replacing the spring, each side of the compressor has to be loosened one turn at a time. The reverse needs to be done on the replacement spring.
One wrong move and the whole thing will fly apart with enough force to smash straight through a solid door.
That is one tool that I will never lend out to anyone who is a novice.

 

Damn !!

I did this too, but without a shirt so I could get a tan while riding my Virago 920.
