Drove a car home before I passed my driving test.  The boy whose mini it was had drunk too much. At 17 I didn’t have much commonsense or sense of danger and it was after midnight.

When I was about 10 someone dared me to hang off some monkey bars by my ankles. Of course it was never going to work and I fell straight on to concrete.  It’s a wonder I didn’t break my skull but I very nearly bit through my tongue.  I still have a big ridge across it. 

Can’t recall a third.

Coming down a kamikaze slide on holiday. It was high and vertical. Almost lost my bikini bottoms at the end. 😱 Never again!
Job interview.
Going out on a boat for the day dolphin watching. ( I don’t do boats and the sea) 😱

PF - I know someone who did that, her Dad was less than impressed.  "Why didn't you ring for a taxi or home, I would have collected you!"

That happened to me when I was about 11 - a friend of Dad's had a large swimming pool, I dived in and they were standing chatting.  'Do that again'.  Can't.  I tried to get Dad to take his friend elsewhere, can't remember the outcome  ::)

I can add learning to dive - I simply wasn't able to take feet off the edge!  Did eventually ......... whoops that's 4  :D

Flying. I'm not a happy traveller but I force myself because I don't want to miss out on seeing the destinations.
Ferry rides, long story, but again I do them for the end result.
Kayaking, cos I can't swim.

Traveling through an underground tunnel half full of water, in a narrow boat just missing the side walls, in the dark with my head just missing the cave roof.
First scuba dive over 30 meters, the coming up bit.
Getting caught by a tornado in our boat.
