Default what stupid dangerous thing have you done?

what stupid dangerous thing have you done?


For the purpose of this thread there has to have been a lucky escape.
Example. I climbed down a cliff face with no rope, slipped and landed on a very narrow ledge, below was a 100 foot fall to rocks.

I've just done something silly and dangerous, the what if thought had already gone through my head but I continued. Bit shaken, no injury and no damage. Lesson learnt, don't ignore that what if thoughts.


I jacked the front of the car up and put on some 5'ish inch wooden ramps.
Went to the rear to jack it up and put on some 4'ish inch wooden ramps.
Car rolled backwards, off the front ramps and would have trapped/crushed me between the car and a cupboard that was against a brick wall.
Fortunately there was a heavy tool box and a work mate set up behind the car and it rolled into those.

I should have left the car in gear when I jacked up the rear
